I have a project containing to forms and a class module, but by mistake I have saved it as ActiveX exe. Now I want to make it a standard exe project. Butdoing so gives me a error saying some properties of the class module will be lost.

Plz help. I am stuck from the last 2 days. Its urgent for satisfying my client.

Bye

don't care about the lost properties, you will need a Private class anyway...

But in the class module i have implemented another class that have been imported from a 3rd party dll. So after forcefully changed the Activex to Standard Exe the code crashes. The software terminates prematurely.

I tred withevents command also for object creation of the external class but the thing isnt working. Plz help

hi there.. it crash on the create object of the external class?? or anywhere???

it didnt crash when you have your app as an activeX??

since your first try was like an activeX maybe the class is registered in the windows registry and you need to clean that up???

well... the code crashes, which error do you get? can you post the line of code where the error occours?

Marco

PS much better than changing the type of the project, it is to create a new project (of the right type), add to it the references to the libraries and controls used in the first project, and then add the modules used in the first project (forms, classes etc) When importing classes you will have a messagew saying that the class instancing will be changed to Private, and that is ok

Marco,
Thnx once again. But the code does not crash at any line of code. It crashes when some event is generated from the external class(dll). So I cannot even detect the point of error.

Gonzalo,
The exact position of the code getting stuck cannot be determined, because the software terminates when the external class tries to display a message or fires an event.
And since I havent created any object of the external class but have "Implemented" it in a class module so probably it isnt the cause of the error.

The activex exe runs fine.
