>Thanks Eric, I just went and got a return fro my error handler and it's seems to work now. We will do more testing on this. Outside of downing a server is there any way to stop a process that is running on a com server? currently I have one sitting in an error condition.

It depends- for an out of proc server, you should be able to see it in the task manager, and kill it from there. An in-proc server, you have to kill the app hosting it. If its running under MTS, you can stop the MTS package, if its called from an ASP, you have to kill the server service. Do a search here for a thread in the last couple of days on KILL.exe.
