>I have a custom object which basically performs selects and returns results as objects, it works very well in my tests instantiating it with set classlib to../createobject(xxx); it works very well as a local COM out of process (exe) server, too.

>Now I want to use it as a COM server in a remote machine but I CAN NOT do it. I simply don't know how to use CREATEOBJECTEX() :(

>Yes, I had read the help file, and had tried in every way possible, but still I don't know how to make it work.
>My project is in a network drive in our development server (machine,-to avoid confussions-), so usually I am creating the exe file there. As I said, I can instantiate it from there in my machine and is working fine.
>How to instantiate it from any station and make the COM server execute in our development or data server (machines)?

>I'll be eternally grateful if you can give me a detailed 'for dummies' step by step explanation on how to deploy/install on the stations and the server machine and deal with DCOM security.
>Even better for an installation piece of code from a central location!. :)

I had a step-by-step article on using DCOM in the VFUG newsletter printed last year. You can see a copy of the article at www.gargoyletech.com.
