I am not familiar with the type library etc and running short of time- so we cannot &nbsp;pursue farther on &nbsp;your pointer. we're be moving the application to WIN95 where the executable does work. Thanks anyway<br />

In my VB5 program that uses OLE Automation, I use a CreateObject statement :<br />
<br />
Dim x as Object<br />
<br />
set X = CreateObject(&quot;reflectionib<wbr />m.applicat<wbr />ion&quot;)<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
When I run the program under the VB5 (Professional edition) development environment in Windows WorkStation 4.0, the program works ok and as expected. When I compile the program into a standard EXE and ran the EXE I hit the following error :<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;432 - filename or classname not found during automation &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;operation<br />
<br />
I think the problem may be due to some Registry problem, what I don't understand is why the pgm works under VB5 development environment while the compiled EXE fails.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
