Thanks - looking for the magic words now.  
Thought that was going to be too simple.

Unfortunately VB DLLs are not that 'friendly' ... theyhave 
to be registeredin order to work.  C++ DLLs can just be placed in the 
Plugin directory andwork.Richard will need to use the VB Package 
and Deployment Wizard to create aninstall that will register and install 
everything necessary.  I think thereis a command prompt registration 
(regsrv32 or something like that) but don'tknow much about 
it.Peter-----Original Message-----From: nkis22

PLugin not LoadingThe rma*.dll is in the PLUGIN folder in AB 
directorybut it is not loading. Tried unload reload, no luck.Is there 
something I am missing? I thought AB seesall the PLUGINS and load them 
automatically.nand--- In amibroker@xxxx, "nkis22"
