Hello,

I am trying to use a COM server dll from a third party, along with its type library.

I'm using VFP8 SP1.
I registered the dll using regsvr32.
I use the Object Browser to find my type library.
I select an interface from the TLB and drag it to a .prg file's window.
VFP generates a class with an IMPLEMENTS statement like this:

IMPLEMENTS IMyClient IN "MyClientLib.MyClient"

When I compile the code, I get error 1444 -
"Type Library MyClientLib.MyClient not found."

I've read other threads here on this topic, so I put the dll and tlb files in my VFP project's folder.

This error occurs only when I build an .exe.
I see the following on the IDE status line just before the error appears:
"Creating Type Library and Registering COM Component"
Why would this be happening? I'm trying to use an existing COM component, not create one.

Thanks,
Howard
