Jeffrey,
You can't pass parameters to the Init of an object in the COM world. Create a new method that accepts the same parameters and use it to process the values.

HTH.

>We are having a problem when taking a working class through the vfp ide and making it an independent class. When we set proc to (our .prg file with the define class, [scandocs]) and instantiate the class otest.createobject(scanning, parm1, parm2 ...) everything functions as planned. All looks good in the debugger as well. But when it is built as a dll, and called as an external class [otest.createobject(scandocs.scanning, parm1, parm2 ...) it fails with a classfactory error message. The debugger shows all of the properties as being uninitialized or set. What am I missing???
