Find CAtlComModule::RegisterServer call (in a DLL project it's in
DllRegisterServer; in EXE, I don't remember off the top of my head). Pass
FALSE for the first parameter (the wizard-generated code passes TRUE). Since
you no longer bind a TLB as a resource, you can't register it this way.

The EXE registers fine and I'm able to use it from a VB
project.

Apparently, you still bind the TLB (which is now supposed to be standalone)
as a resource to your EXE. Check your .rc file.

Yes, that's true. I've removed the TYPELIB statement from both EXE and DLL
projects and registered the TLB using regtlib. I also removed the REGISTRY
statements from the RC files. Should I have? Anyway, I still have the same
problem. This works:

Dim myapp As COMServerALib.Application

Set myapp = New COMServerALib.Application

Dim name As String
name = myapp.name

This doesn't:

Dim myapp As COMServerALib.ApplicationX

Set myapp = New COMServerALib.ApplicationX ' ActiveX component can't
create object

Dim name As String
name = myapp.name

Any ideas?

Thanks again,
Drew
