Well, I'm using the _variant_t class to have a general solution for getting the values from the recordsetfields, but yes most of the times they are strings, but at that point of the execution I didn't converted them to CString. I also tried without using _variant_t, using VARIANT and BSTR and _bstr_t. Though the place changes I still have memory leaks somewhere. I also have issues with CString Allocbuffer. I'm close to pulling my hair one by one. Have been playing with this for weeks now. These functions are called on a separate thread, I'm using a jobmanager class I wrote. What I was thinking about lately it might by due to threading issues. Or is it general, but others haven't noticed yet? I should build a single threaded test program.

Thanks, but the submenus work just fine, the main menu doesn't show up. I have a popup menu item as the main menu, which shows up as a blank item, but if I position the mouse over it the submenu show up as it should. Better idea?

there is no harm to register a dll multiple times, no reference count is kept, so this would simplify what you're trying to do with your installer. simply register the dll after it gets installed!:-D Yours Truly, The One and Only!

Hi, I got through the same problem some time ago and there is the solution. Inno script with Crystal Report Installation.[** Crystal Report 9 and 11 Installation - Inno Script **](http://www.sportamok.com/development/delphi/13-inno-setup-crystal-report-deployment)I like Inno since it's fast, easy and you have full control over the whole process. Crystal Report msi package is just pain. Hope It helps.:thumbsup:

I already figured but thanks, anyway. Anybody dealing with the same issue should know to have all the specialized functions inline in the header file if want to get rid of LNK2006 errors..
