Michael:

I had a lot of trouble with this same sort of thing -- sharing the data component of a COM object. After several months (literally) talking to the MS help lines I learned the secret. It seems that you must expose a method in the COM object to return any of the data properties. Instead of:

de = createobject('databridge.de')
? de.propname

you need to:

de = createobject('databridge.de')
? de.returnprop(propname)

I hope this helps.
