When developing West-Wind applications, I made the mistake of using a Multi-use com server instead of a single-use com server and a file that was supposed to be open was being closed by on of the other threads. Variables were losing values or there values were being changed. This Com server which is separate from the West-wind com server must be a single multi-use com server. We need to have one session table opened exclusively serving the data. This separate com server will prevent the data caching that was occuring with multiple single-use com servers.
