I would look at COM+ to see if it has anything to offer. I'm also looking at doing on the web what you want to do, so, maybe we can share what we find...
>I have a DLL I created with Fox. Keep a copy on each users local drive and registered on their system. I update it with an Apploader that runs my applications before the application launches. Once the application launches and uses the DLL, I can't update the DLL. This is not a problem on most systems since there is a single user.
>
>However, for users on Terminal server, there are many users and its very likely that another user will be using the DLL when it needs to be updated. Is there a way other than giving each user their own copy of the DLL to be able to update the DLL while it is in use.
>
>I create the object from the DLL once in the application and keep that reference alive thruout the app. I could release the object after each use, but I don't really want to do that if I can help it.
