Sergey,

Thanks for the information. I found that it is referenced as IDAuto.PDF417.1. So the following worked:

oObject = CREATEOBJECT("IDAuto.PDF417.1")

>Let's try other way. In the Object Browser copy GUID for that COM object into clipboard. Start Regit and search HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for that GUID. ProgId under that key should give you name you're looking for.

>>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...
