Hi!

I will try it out and let you know.

Thanks.

>Just general advice, I wouldn't use the merge modules unles you have to. Just include the VBR, TLB, your dll, the C++ 7 runtime, the VFPt.dll, the VFPrenu.dll. I think that's it. Regarding your error, I've had a lot more success marking COM servers as 'Self Register' rather than 'Extract COM info'. These are options when you right click the COM server in InstallShield.

>>Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8 Runtime Libraries
