You are right in that COM programmers will instinctively (yeah right, COM is real natural *add some rolling eyes here *) invoke Release which will conflict with 'release' method. One ugly solution would be to double AddRef to account for double release. Better solution would be to name the release method to match the COM Release method. Its almost COM-ical when you think about it. Regards, Don Park http://www.docuverse.com/personal/index.html
