Thanks for the information. I got past the cannot find module error but not I am receiving a cannot find DllRegisterServer entry point error. I have tried removing the macros and explicitly defining the function types. I forward defined them like this: extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) HRESULT STDAPICALLTYPE DllRegisterServer(); extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) HRESULT STDAPICALLTYPE DllUnregisterServer(); The function bodies look like this: extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) HRESULT STDAPICALLTYPE DllRegisterServer() { return RegisterServer(g_hModule, CLSID_Component1, g_szFriendlyName, g_szVerIndProgID, g_szProgID); } //server unregister extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) HRESULT STDAPICALLTYPE DllUnregisterServer() { return UnregisterServer(CLSID_Component1, g_szVerIndProgID, g_szProgID); } Again thanks for the help.

Thankyou for the help. Evidently I wasn't including the libraries in the right area in the project setup. Once I moved everything over to the additional dependencies area it all seemed to work out. I appreciate the help.

Strange, I've broken all those rules for many, many years and have yet to get any spyware on my system. On the other hand we all know someone, perhaps a relative, that clicks on every thing that pops up on their screen and their computer is so loaded with spyware it's almost unusable. I think it's just common sense.

I have just ordered a copy of Inside COM and I was looking into Inside OLE. I was wondering if anyone has read these books or have any other suggestions.

Thankyou for the advice. Is there other references that you know of besides the SAMS 21 Day book? I am usually not a big fan of those books; I usually find them lacking with respect to in depth coverage of the subject. I will look into the book though, just wondering if you knew of any others.
