Hi!
Check the SET("OLEOBJECT") value. If it's OFF, then VFP is not searches OLE registry.

>I use "oExcel=GETOBJECT("","excel.application")" from a method in a commandbutton class. When I am in the VFP development environment and run the exe or main.prg, the app works as expected. If I run the exe from an icon, I get a 1733 error with "class definition EXCEL.APPLICATION is not found".
