I tried the following only to get the "error '463' Class not registered on local machine" I regserv32 uninstalled the dll and reinstalled it... MetaFile is the class name that shows up when i use the project/reference -> Object method. How can I find out what it wants as the class name. Any ideas?

    Dim objBlankForm As Object
    Set objBlankForm = CreateObject("MetaFile", "C:\xe\bform1999.dll")
