Just build your app as an EXE and you have "Out-of-process" COM. Build it as DLL (single or Multi-tier), you have an "In-Process" COM.
>Also, is it possible to keep a reference to the object(s) from my main program to be aware of how many are in existance at any given time? I'm thinking of something similar to an array of pointers to a struct in 'C'. I need to know how many are in existance and what the status of each is.
Once you instantiated the COM object into your main program, its properties will be accessible in the entire application.
