Hugh, thanks for the tip. However, the CheckServer() tip has more potential, for it opens the possibility to check why an ole-server isn't detected as such. As Della Martin explained, sometimes a user claims that the server/app really exists although it can't be created as an object. CheckServer() can then give useful extra information.
