So, it should work as a COM EXE? My app is compiled as a COM EXE and the REPORT FORM is causing the app to freeze. Just to test, I compiled it as a COM MTDLL and I received a "FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE" error. I wish some sort of error would occur in my COM EXE to see what's going on. I'll keep searching for a solution. Thanks for your help.
