Vin,

Thanks. Somehow I didn't realize that Withevents could be used with both scenarios.

But... my problem remains because, indeed, I will probably need to remove all references.

It's all because of the setup in place here. When an application is launched, it checks the version against the version stored in the registry. If different, then it will shutdown and a batch file will fire. That batch file will re-register all DLLs needed by the application and relaunch the app. This is to insure that app and their DLLs are in sync.

To do this, the app must not reference its DLLs (Arghhhh! :) ).
