I have a AxtiveX EXE program that I would like to use with DCOM and DDE. I have to have a form for the DDE link, that is why I am useing an ActiveX EXE. The form has only one textbox for the DDE link and is not visible. If I create a program that references my ActiveX EXE on the same machine it works, when I try to use DCOM from another machine I get an Dr. Watson error.
