I am trying to add the .COM reference "Microsoft Smart Tags 2.0 Libary" to my project, but when I do so, it copies a .dll to my project file, instead of referencing the one I want which is in C:\windows\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.Office.Interop\SmartTag\. When I look at the project it shows a copy local "True", but I want it to be "False" and it shows the path as my project directory istead of the above. How can I get it to reference the one in Windows\Assembly\*? I have already tried changing the project property reference path to C:\windows\assembly\*, but that has no effect. This used to work, but now it does not. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
bob
