I do have a standard applications that are creating an instance of the ActiveX EXE via CreateObject function but I also want this program to be self-running as well.

When you double-click an ActiveX EXE, the only thing it does is to register itself.
Actually, my ActiveX EXE displays a form, just like a standard EXE when double-clicked.

>>This shouldn't be difficult but I can't seem to find an easy solution. I have an ActiveX EXE project that I want to display the main form only when the EXE is started "directly" (double-click EXE) but not show the main form when controlled via COM automation (via CreateObject). Any ideas? TIA.
