>>I have built an in-process DLL to handle changes to values in a view. In my main exe I create the server object, and call the appropriate method - say, MyDLL.changeview. Before I call the method I make sure my exe is on the appropriate view. However, the DLL is returning an error - that the alias can not be found. In the debugger I can see the alias is correctly selected immediately before the server object is created; but once inside the DLL it is no longer accessible. I have built the DLL on a CUSTOM class rather than a SESSION class as I assumed the latter would cause just the sort of problem I am seeing - as the SESSION class maintains it's own datasession. I thought the CUSTOM class would have the same datasession as the main exe.

Fair point - I had been giving it some thought and I may eventually decide not to implement the DLL. But it is good to know what can NOT be done ( as per Craig's response).
