How did you access the remote component? My guess is, the single instance that worked was actually accessing the component on the developer's PC, not the one on the server.

We did a small test here a while back to try and understand the idea of using .dll's. 1 programmer did a small .exe that would access the .dll Then we placed (copy & pasted) the .dll on the server along with the .exe Only the programmer that created the .dll could use it. What did we do wrong?
