>>It runs fine here, i've still no clue why it fails on your platform ... Yep, it's almost impossible to troubleshoot, since it works on your machine. But it fails on 3 different machines I've tried, and they aren't set up in any special way. I cannot mimick your set up exactly, as 1.5 beta is not available for download, but other than that, I think our setups are the same. >>If you are experienced with Windows it is probably no >>big issue to wrap the C and C++ xmlBlaster client library >>as an ActiveX control Well I'm not that experienced on windows, but if an expert will point me in the right direction, I'll give it a go. My thinking...as a newbie, is that a C DLL has to be created...I mean xmlBlasterClientC.dll which comes with the install has return types that wouldn't be supported by pinvoke, so someone basically has to code a C DLL that can access that at a higher level. Then, if someone wished they could use that new dll using pinvoke, or again, write a wrapper in vb.net, creating a native DLL to the C DLL, then you could do your programming in the expected way. Well I hate to ask for programming lessons, but if anyone can offer some help, I'll do the grunt work. Thanks, Robert
