A ClassId is assigned when the server is compiled. From then on that ID stays the same and doesn't change. That's the whole point of a GUID <g>...

>>>Hi,

>>>I have created a COM server and works to my satisfaction. I want to know how can I get the CLSID of the same thorugh VFP . I mean how can I store the CLSID into the server and then ask windows to use the same for registration ? OR let the server assign it one but the same must be returned when the property is quiered ?
