Ed,

I have created a .exe that takes SQL statements from the user in a form, and a form method instances an out-of-process MTDLL living in a COM+ server package, and then passes the SQL to the object to run. The completely .prg-based object is subclassed from the timer control. So far, I have been able to run the .exe and pump a few dozen "simultaneous" queries at the MTDLL, and each thread seems to run fine and return results on-time. I made this a subclass of the timer because I thought it would let me get around the normally synchronous/blocking nature of running an object's method.

Is there a better way to do what I am doing?
