Sorry for not following up sooner. I've been away for the last couple of weeks... The error massage was something like "Could not harvest data from a file that was expected to be a SelfReg DLL. If this file does not support SelfReg you can ignore this warning". Actually, I think I have found the cause of the problem. The ax files in question depended on another DLL that itself doen't get registered but has to be present for heat to harvest the registration data. Thanks, jw
