Hi,<br>Ive read the book VB6 Business Objects and I am going quite well. I like to see everything working so Im now trying to have my User-centric and data-centric tiers on different machines (Ive seen it working on one machine). I exported my MTS data-centric package onto the second machine and set up the dcomcnfg on the objects on the first machine to create on the second machine. This is how I expected it to work but Im getting some wierd results. Initially I thought it was working but then I realised it was still creating it on the first machine when I checked dcomcnfg all the settings seem to have set themselves back to initialise off the first machine!! This seems to happen all the time - I set it - it unsets itself.<br>What am I missing??<br>Its really starting to get on my nerves.<br>Thanks<br><br>

Better late than never
<br><br>Maybe my initial posting was a bit confusing (now Ive read it again).<br>The main question is how do you distribute an MTS package over multiple machines. At the moment I have all my business objects running in MTS on one machine. What are the steps involved in moving the data-centric tier on to the database machine? I am aware that I export the package to the database machine (which also runs MTS) but how do I tell the original machine to create the data-centric object on the database machine?<br>I am working in a totally NT environment, server & clients.<br><br>Ive got a feeling that Im missing the obvious..so please excuse my stupidity<br><br>Thanks<br>

Yep your are missing the obivous!! *Laughing*<br><br>When you export from the MTS a package to the client machine it should not be nessecary to mess with the dcomcnfg! It should be set up as it is supposed to! That means that a call to<br><br>CreateObject("Server.Interface" should create the object!<br><br>If you dont export the MTS package it is done by calling<br><br>CreateObject("Server.Interface", "Server Name" or IP-address of server)<br><br>This should do it!<br><br>By the way!<br>Have you experienced any problems using DCOM across Domains?? I get "Access Denied" when I try to instantiate an object from a machine the is on another Domain than the server where the object is supposed to be created!??<br><br><br><br>
