Hi!
Just make a function in your application that will instantiate the COM object for you than call a special method, for example, "AdditionalInit". This way you also will be able to pass parameters to the initialization process of the COM object. Note that Init of COM object ignores parameters, so to pass parameters you require additional method anyway. Usually this issue and going stateless are combined in a single COM object method.
HTH.
>I have a VFP MTDLL running under MTS. I've noticed that when I first instantiate it, it stays activated until I call the first method that has a SetComplete in it. Is there any way to deactivate the object immediately after instantiation? The ObjectContext isn't available, so I can't call SetComplete.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
