Bob,

Much thanks, worked first time. Knew it *had* to be something simple that I couldn't find in the docs...

>>Folks,

>>I am hoping for a step-by-step on implementing a COM Server on another machine. I get the impression that it is supposed to be relatively simple to do it the first time. I understand that a full-fledged solution involves MTS and many other factors, but today's challenge is just to instantiate an object on another machine and run some tests.

>>Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong with these steps:
>>1. Create the class OLE Public
>>2. Compile an executable
>>3. Put the executable on the desired server, register it (MyExe /regserver)
>>4. At the command window of the client, execute CREATEOBJECTEX("myEXEname.MyClassName","ThatOtherComputer")
>>
>>I am consistently getting "Access is Denied." Cannot find this anywhere in the docs. Both server and client are NT 4.0.
>>
>>The fox docs are also a little tough, since they discuss Remote Automation, not DCOM per se.
>>
>>Any help at all, TIA...
