John,
Perhaps you could have your DCOM object squirt back to the calling procedure a number that represents "n of total n" numbers?
That way the calling procedure could update the user's form with some information.
Just a thought.
>I have created several MTS/DCOM objects. These objects process large datasets, reports etc... .5 to 1.5 gig in size and can sometimes take 30 min including indexing. At present the system freezes until the DCOM object finshes. Does anyone have any ideas what to present to the user while processing is happening. When the objects were local I was able to create a thermometer I have no clue what to do know because the is no UI in in-process servers????
