I have a dll that is successfully registered using regsvr32. I can find in the list of automation servers for Excel, but I cannot in Navision (5.0). Is there something specific that Navision is looking for in an automation control? I did not write the dll, but I have access to the guy that did, so I can ask him to make any necessary changes.

Any help is appreciated!

    In design mode of any object, open the globals (or the locals from a trigger), add a new variable, data type 'Automation', and then you should see it in the list when you click the ellipsis from the Subtype.

    That's what I mean - I check the automation server list (when trying to assign it to a variable), but the one I am looking for isn't listed.

    I have posted a sample project you can download at http://adventuresindotnet.blogspot.com/ ... bject.html. I would recommend taking it and seeing if you can get it to show in Nav. If so, then change it bit by bit to what you want until you can see your code as an Automation variable in Nav.
