This is not a solution to your problem, but:

loObject is declared Local, so it will be released in the end of your function. So, there's no need to test and release the object (it will be released anyway).

Just Return IsNull( loObject) is enough. This will speed up a little.

BTW, the initialization of the object may fail because of the parameters you must or not provide to CreateObject.

>I have a visual class library (VCX) with several classes in it. Is there a way to tell if a class exists (not necessarily instatiated) in a class library? This is what I have right now. It works, but it has to instatiate the object to determine whether the class exists. This slows down my application among other things.
