Hi!
Try to open its DLL or EXE exclusively, something like FOPEN('...MyCOMObjectModule.DLL',12). This wa
If successful, you can be sure it is not used.
As about running its code (working by taking the processir time) - cannot tell anything. Probably you can do that using API functions, but better to maintain some sort of flag in each function of the COM object. If flag is set, the object is running. Stroer also the time when flag is created to avoid situation with power off or crashes.
HTH.

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.
