I am interested in your concept but I am not sure I fully understand what you have in mind. Could you expand on it some more?

A couple of things come to mind.

If I use DCOM doesn't every client have to register the server on thier local machine? Can registration be automatic? If it does require registration that sounds like a nightmare for maintenance.

>You could use DCOM and instanciate it just like a local OLE. (CREATOBJECTEX). If you got a server to do some testing on, get back to me. I think record pointing with DCOM is an under utilized feature!
