Hi!

What you meant as 'Pre-Load'? Where you have read that DCOM object requires to be pre-loaded in the memory before being called? It is managed by Windows, when COM object is not used - it is released. If it is used by CREATEOBJECT or CREATEOBJECTEX again, it is loaded. If it was loaded before, its file is cached, so second, third and so on calls to object last more quickly. I wondered why ever someone might want to pre-load DCOM object into memory. I know that there is such thing as COM+ pooling that allows to pre-load instances of COM objects into memory, but it does not works for VFP6 and VB6 COM objects. DCOM have no such functionality at all.

I found that, once I issue RELEASE mycom or mycom = .NULL., my pre-loaded DCOM server in remote server will be released as well. Since DCOM server need to be pre-loaded before being called by client application, thereofre I wish to leave my "last " distance in memory of remote server. (Using Win98)
