Rick is correct that you can host the component in COM+ without any changes. However, you should look at doing some things to take advantage of COM+ features like Just In Time Activation. That may be very litte code change. There are lots of other things that COM+ can do for you. See my paper at http://www.craigberntson.com/articles.htm


>Yes, that is how we set it up now. We give explicit permissions for the directories and files that our clients' websites are set up in to IUSR. So it sounds like what you're saying is that there isn't an elegant way to access a directory that is located on a different drive on the hosting website server. I know I can write another COM object to run on the second drive and communicate between the two drives that way but it would be so much easier to reference D:\Some_Directory from my COM located in C:\MyCOM.

>Also, COM+ sounds good but my knowledge of it is limited. Since I've written a complex COM that moves data back and forth via http (accessing VFP tables at the website), I'm not sure how much code modification would be required to upgrade this to COM+. I will look into this though since it does sound like you have a lot more control. Do you know a good place (i.e. white paper, etc.) to view differences of COM and COM+ ??
