I guess I'll have to add "Autocad" to the list of "problem apps". Since you opened the undo file, can you remember if it contained a bunch of reference to dlls? If so, they may've just needed to be re-registered. I don't have Autocad so I can't see for myself. -- Ken Halter - MS-MVP-VB - Please keep all discussions in the groups..

Use Project/Components....to add a reference When I try to do that I'm back to the error "Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library" ??? Do I just need to register MSComCtlLib.ocx? Went into an old copy of the form in notepad, copied the previous line for progress bar, pasted into new version of form but still get load error "Line 292: Class MSComctlLib.ProgressBar of control ProgBar was not a loaded control class."

I don't have Autocad so I can't see for myself. well, the thing is I restored the registry (supposedly) by dblclicking the undo file so it shouldn't be creating the current problem right? I snagged it back out of the recycle bin. 187kb hundreds(if not thousands<g>) of dlls, most of them acad's search for "mscom" gets no hits what should I look for specifically? also a bunch of Acrobat 7.0 stuff in there (don't know why it would remove that?) spybotsd tahoe(what's that?) some vbexpress stuff(yeah , just had to take a look at it...yeech <g>) some visual studio stuff! no clue what it is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln\CLSID] @="{1B2EEDD6-C203-4d04-BD59-78906E3E8AAB}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln\CurVer] @="VisualStudio.Solution.8.0" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VsHelpServices\CurVer] @="VsHelpServices.VsHelpServices.1" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VsMain.RumorSink\CurVer] @="MyRumor.RumorSink.1" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\vupfile\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\Common\\IDE\\IDE98\\genproj.dll,-32450" I got that article on the regfile for registering dlls, thanks Should I reregister mscomctl32.ocx? there are some oca files in Winnt/system32 should I delete those?
