I'll give it a try and see how the side by side stuff works.. It's just annoying that M$ changes their stuff, doesn't tell anyone, and we have to figure out ways to work around their mistakes/"features". The same code works fine on NT 4 as well. Sorry if I seem irritated, but I am.. ; )

>I'm not really all that up to date on this aspect. The best suggestions I can give is probably to suggest that you read Chapter 3: Component Sharing in the Application Specification for Windows 2000 for Desktop Applications, if you already haven't. It's in the Specifications section of the MSDN Library. The chapter will refer to you to "Implementing Side-by-Side Component Sharing in Applications" via a URL.
