It wasn't until I went to map the main form in the application that it started having issues. However after getting this DLL into the applications folder it is working.

I almost forgot to mention that for the form name mapping I gave it the name I wanted then had to add the ?* wild card to the window caption field. This was the only way I found to get the name mapping to work for the form. If I didn't use the wild card I would get a message talking about the name mapping not being unique enough or something like that. I can get the exact message if someone thinks the wild card might be the issue.

 

Thanks again.
