adding reference to an COM-object in VB doesn't work

[diego]

I have the follwing problem. I want to add a reference to an COM-
object ("ek1.exe").

In Excel-VBA it works without any problems.


In MS Visual Studio 2005 VB this doesn't work and I get the error
message:
"A reference to 'z:\ek.exe' could not be added. Please make sure that
the file is accessible, and that is a valid assembly or COM
component."


Any help is highly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!
Diego


p.s.: I use follwing versions:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727


Excel 2003 (11.8134.8132) SP2

Re: adding reference to an COM-object in VB doesn't work

Wel if it works in VBA through COM it should also work in VB.Net

i guess you are trying late binding in VB.net ??? maybe you could post the
code that fails

object ("ek1.exe"). in VB should be at least a createobject("f oo")

VBA ISNOT VB :-) ( a German and a Dutchman might look the same and there
language sounds simular
for a foreigner , but put them both in one room and if they both speak good
English they end up talking in this language to each other )
