>Here's another one that's got me stumped. My com object runs fine when I create it from the command window. When I issue clear all and try to run create the object again I get the message, "Ole error code 0x800403111: ClassFactory cannot supply requested class." The only way around it is to shut down the com server in the Component Services module and re-run. If you know a way around this one, I'd sure like to know about it.

I found it. In the destroy event I issued close data all. Seems to me that the databases would be closed when the object is cleared from memory, but it seems this isn't the case.
