Jim,

No I am saying that a DLL or EXE that is an ActiveX server module cannot have a user interface. I have OLE servers that are form class, but they are never shown.

Servers are not limited to C/S applications. They can be used by anything that can create an instance of an ole server. They can be used remotely if that's what you want, or locally if that is what you want. If my meory serves me you can even put UI stuff in them in 5.0, but the UI may never be seen by teh user if the server is on a different machine. 6.0 stops you from doing UI in the server.

Putting UI in an ActiveX Server class is a very bad idea, as it severely limits the usefulness of the server.
