>Let's say I have an automation server that runs on a computer B. That server was started from computer A using CREATEOBJECTEX command. Is there a way to 'connect' computer C to the server from computer B?

Maybe <g>...

You should be able to create an instance of server C in Server B and then pass that instance back to Server A. Server A should then be able to call Server C.

You can use a factory method in Server B to return the reference:

FUNCTION GetServerC()
IF ISNULL(this.oServerC)
this.oServerC = CREATEOBJECTEX("ServerC.ServerC","SERVERC")
ENDIF
RETURN this.oServerC
ENDFUNC

In server A:

loServerB = CREATEOBJECTEX("ServerB.ServerB","ServerB")
loServerC = loServer.GetServerC()

I haven't tried this but it's easy enough to try out. I'm not sure how the COM marshalling of this would work out but if it works the marshalling would be from A -> B's Proxy -> C...

The tough part will be permissions. If you try this make absolutely sure you can access the ServerB from A and ServerC from B before trying the Factory code.
