Sergey,

Thanks, but you caught a typo in my message. I tried both of your suggestions, but no luck... It's like it doesn't recognize it, but the Object Browser has it in the list and I can see the PDF class within that as well. I just can't reference it...

>I would try

oObject = CREATEOBJECT("PDF417LIB.PDF")
>* or
>oObject = CREATEOBJECT("PDF417LIB.PDF.1")
>* but not
>oObject = CREATEOBJECT("PDF471LIB.PDF")

>>I am attempting to work with a new COM object and cannot figure out how to instantiate it within VFP. Here's some sample code for VB, but I've done everything that I know to get it to work:

>>End Function

>>I figured that the basic call would be as follows:
>>oObject = CREATEOBJECT("PDF471LIB.PDF")

>>That didn't work, so I looked further. The name of the file is IDAUTOMATIONPDF417.DLL. It is defined in the Object Browser as IDAutomationPDF417Barcode, so I tried each of the following:
>>oObject = CREATEOBJECT("IDAUTOMATIONPDF417.PDF")
>>oObject = CREATEOBJECT("IDAUTOMATIONPDF417BARCODE.PDF")
>>
>>None of the things I have done have worked. I have verified that the DLL is registered and it is working from within Access using the above example code.

>>Can anyone help! Please!!!
