>It's been over a year since I messed around with COM and DCOM, and I have run into a jam. I created a class in code and compiled it as OLEPublic. I can now create an object instance with code similar to the following in Visual FoxPro:

lo_Business = CreateObject( "My_Server.My_Class" )

>Or in Visual Basic:
>

Dimension lo_Business As New My_Server.My_Class

>Everything is fine on the server machine. The problem is when I try to access this class remotely. The client machine cannot instantiate the object. I have the Automation Manager and Remote Automation Connection Manager running on the server machine. When I have the class defined as using the Remote Automation transport the client gets an error reporting that the server cannot be located. When the class is defined as Distributed COM, the client gets an "Access Denied" error.

If you're running it remotely via DCOM, it must be compiled as an EXE, unless you are running it under MTS.
