Re: None of the dll's contain type information!

Umm,

My appologies, I read .tld as .tlb

The type browser should be able to open a .tlb, I don;t know what a .tld
file is.

I believe it is possible for someone to generate a COM dll without type
information, its an optional thing.

Failing that perhaps AABB might be able to provide you with the TLB files
you need?
