Another issue wasthat I had not compiled the dll it seems to matter. Also, I tried late binding as I wanted to allow plugins to use some funtionality here. This is no problem as I will include the type in another clas and both the exe and any end user dlls will have to early early bind to the structure. Thanks so much for your time.

>Hi!
>To pass a user-defined type as parameter of public method in a COM object, you must use early binding to COM object and declare UDT as Public in Public class module. UDT always passed by reference. You can look at sample of passing UDT in article "Q185700 - HOWTO: Remote User-Defined Types".

*** In the dll I want to be able to do something like this:

>>  y as integer

>>Public function GetLocation(byref LX as tLocal) ' or Private
>>    LX.Name = "Zone Two"
>>    LX.x = 12
>>    LX.y = 55
>>End Function

>>    set ox = mydllproj.mydllclass

Thanks in Advance.
