Re: idl questions

ok, now I've gone and done it <g>
rewrote my idl
created new guids
changed version number but left interface name the same (maybe a mistake?)
recompiled
un-referenced existing tlb
saved vbg
un-registered existing tlb
registered new tlb
re-referenced new tlb

now I get type mismatch on setting the object to the interface
'------------------------
in cProjectSpecConcrete:
Implements IProjectSpec
'------------------------
'in class using project spec
'for interface properties
Private moIProjectSpec as IProjectSpec
'for concrete properties
Private moCProjectSpec as cProjectSpecConcrete
'------------------------
'in creation routine
Set moIProjectSpec = New cProjectSpecConcrete '<----------- now i get type
mismatch here
Set moCProjectSpec = moIProjectSpec
'------------------------

so even though I un-referenced the interface, unregistered the tlb,
recompiled, reregistered, re-referenced, the vbp must be looking at the old
guid????

all the new properties/methods showed up in the ide so I thought all was
well, but i guess not???

or do you have to change the name any time you change the interface(with a
version number or something?)

thanks
mark
