Hi,

In my project options I can't find any options for ATL. The help file says
that
ATL options are available if the project contains a COM server. But my
component is the COM client in this case. Is this the bug you mention.
Shouldn't
the ATL options be always available in case a project is a COM client?

That sounds very good. I will give it a try.

thanks,
Nick
