DLL for use in Office applications

[Morten Snedker]

If made myself a DLL-file containing classes I wish to use in Office
applications (Access/Excel).

How should I register the DLL to make it work with these applications?
I've tried using RegAsm.exe, but maybe I've been using wrong
parameters.

I also tried to from the Office-app to point directly to the DLL, but
this don't work either.

Thx in advance for any help!

Well, seems like I need help anyway. "Register for COM InterOp" is
checked, which makes it work on local PC. But how do I distribute and
register the DLL on external computer?

Just want to add that I can't get dll-files to work with Office.
However, registering with Regasm.exe with the /tlb set - giving a
tlb-file - makes all work well !

As stated in other part of this thread: register with regasm.exe using
the /tlb .. and it works.
