If you instantiate DCOM EXE you will be also able to communicate from different computers through your MTDLL this way. GETOBJECT() is not used there. I demonstrated VFP COM Communicator class and VFP Instant Messenger based on it at my DevCon 2001 session in San Diego.

Nick,
Could you post a simple model of how an EXE COM maintains a puplic variable? Is the COM EXE a VFP COM?

It seems that that instanciation would wipe clean any changes to the public variable? How is the public variable made to persist?

And BTW - your VFP COM communicator class is a marvel. The UT should offer a thread category just so we could pick your brain on that topic:-)
