I get a "Error in creating the OLE object". This is occurs with both single and multi-threaded dlls. Additionally, I've tried CLEAR ALL and CLOSE ALL without any change, figuring that the browser has not closed the type library and released the file handle. While I still think that this may be the source of the error, I'm not 100% sure. Any ideas?

I've seen (and understood) something similar happen when internal references to the DLL's DllRegisterServer and/or DllUnregisterServer functions aren't clear via a CLEAR DLLS command. I'm trying, however, to directly tie this to the class browser (if that's the case of course), in order to submit a bug report to MS. In order to do so, I'd like to receive confirmation from someone else on this.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback, Wayne.
