Sergey,
I have a follow-up question. Your suggestion to check for the COM server works very well, but I was wondering about something.

Initially, before I posted a message here, I was checking for COM server as follows:

poGpmPager = createobj("Pager.Send")
if !type("poGpmPager") = "O" or isnull( poGpmPager )
   =messagebox( "problem" )
endif

But it didn't work and I was getting error on "createobj" line.

I am wondering, why the syntax above does not work but when you add square brackets [] around createbobj, it works?

With addition of your code, now the program creats the object twice: one time to check for COM server registration and another one for actually creating the object. It's not a big deal but I thought that it would be nice to improve the speed by combining both in one. Actually as I type this message I am thinking that maybe I should use brackets [] when creating the object to make it all in one call. I will try it now.

? TYPE([CREATEOBJECT("mydll.mycomclass")]) = "O"     && will return .T. if it is registeredf
