>>You won't be able to communicate with the threads once they are started

I can't communcate with a query once it's started so I don't think this is a loss of function.

>>You have no control over the thread. If it crash or is trapped in an >>infinite loop, you will have a memory leak
Hit this HARD with DCOM, is there ANY way to neatly and without memory leak close a COM object if it errors?

>>You must be sure that the thread had finished before release the COM. >>Memory leak will occurs otherwise
Excepted, however if the "main" EXE fails or is "end-tasked" is there anyway on startup to "clean up" ??
