Thanks for the sample, but my problem is that the vcx file does not exist with the application. This is a compiled, distributed EXE, so the class library is embeded within an executable. I've got a standby plan in case I can't use AVCXCLASSES(), but was hoping there was something I missed about the function, like an undocumented 3rd argument for an application file or something.

Thanks,
