    My program can run on my machine and a couple of others within a NT network but can't run on the rest because of error with an exe COM object created by myself.

    Error msg says

    "ActiveX component can't create object"

    Is this a problem with object registry? If yes, how to check my exe COM object is registered properly on a machine without VB IDE?

    (I used PDW to setup installation package.)

    Try this at a command prompt:
    Code:
    regsvr32 myobj.exe
    That should work fine. Alternatively, I think P&DW can do this on installation.

    Thx.
    I would like to know if the object is registered properly after running installation or regsvr32.exe.
    Actually, One way I just found after previous posting is to open VB editor from microsfot office(eg. Excel) and check the reference list. My object is there!

    Now the question is why my program can't use that registered object?
    what could be wrong with " ActiveX component can't create object" ?
