Thanks for the reply Ed!

None of the suggestions worked. I took a look in the type lib and the sections that relate to dllregister and dllunregister werent there. I rebuilt the DLL and with rebuild all and regenerate component ids (which I had already done several times < g >) the dll worked.

Go figure!

Thanks ,
Rick

>>Using VFP 6, sp3 I build a singlethreaded DLL (xyz.dll) on one machine (development machine). I try to register the DLL on another machine (production machine) which already has VFP sp3 installed. I get the following error message when I try to register it with REGSVR32

MS offered one as an unsupported app, called REGCLEAN - at one point, it was removed because it sometimes damaged a registry accidentally; the bad version was withdrawn and a later version released, but I do not know if there is a version available currently. Most of the utility suites like Norton and McAfee have registry repair and cleaning utilities, and Win98's System Info tool includes a Registry Checker.
