Um... are you saying you want punctuation to be available in ProgIDs <g>

Seriously though, I agree. It sure would be nice to have at least a 64 char
limit.

and whilst we're on the COM wishes, how about being able to specify your own
GUID?

Gain the ability one has in VC++ and other languages to define interfaces
yourself if that is what you would like to do? :-)

Correct! :)

Also, we like to be able to do a quick (manual) regclean every now and then
on a development machine, so grouping the project's GUIDs together makes
this far, far simpler (Yes, I know, not a technically-sound reason as such!)

Maybe the VB IDE should have an option like "Automatically delete previously
compiled components of the same name/GUID and clean up registry before
automatically creating and compiling the new one".

Then again, it might not fit in the dialog/menu ;-)
