Hi Ed,

>When a COM object is created from ASP, the object is destroyed when the page goes away. The problem is when a COM object is loaded, it remains loaded in the WebServer until the process is shut down. This allows for quick access to the object when it is used again. In IIS, and apparently PWS running in NT, you can stop the process, thereby freeing up the object. However with Win95 you don't seem to be able to do this. You can click STOP in PWS, but this clears nothing. So you have to shut down the machine. This, of course is a real pain.

I won't be much help then, because I work on NT.

Which version of PWS are you using ? I think there was a new version in the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack. Despite its name, this also installs under Win 95.

You can download the option pack at:

Again, I don't know if that will help much.

Best.

Matt.
