to your point 1: i ran out of ideas. something has got to be different - obviously.

point 2: i would just 're-load' them in the secondary .exe's, to be on the save side. if flexibility is an issue, you can always pass the 'to-be-loaded' classes via parameters, or save them in a asci file, or simular.

>Ok, that makes sense. So, first, it's still a mystery as to know why this is working on our production server where no VCX are stored anywhere. Secondly, how would I go to be safer in order to have those secondary EXE to see the classlib definitions which are loaded in the root?
