There is no one API call that does this. You have to open the component file, parse and get the ALL of the GUIDs and names for each object, method, property, ...whatnot.... Then write each GUID and name to the registry in the appropriate locations. You can try to implement something like this, probably taking you 6 months of work as you figure out the internals of COM and the API's involved. Or, do it the easy way, and shell out to RegSrv32, and have it done in 5 minutes. Which option do you think would be more cost effective? Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic
