Hello all, <br><br>I investing the possibility of changing our approach to N-Tier. <br><br>I tried to make a trial project using DCOM, but was not successful. <br><br>On the server, I tried to create an instance of the class on the client and recieved the error of COGETOBJECT failed,<br>Server Execution Error. <br><br>On the client, I tried to use the CreateObject function the create an instance through the server and I got an automation error. The communication between the two is fine, ping, telnet work. <br><br>When I try to create a local instance of the ActiveX EXE on both the server and on the client. I succeed.<br><br>Any help would be appreciated.<br><br>Thank you in advance.<br><br>Ed

Hi there<br><br>Info from a previous thread that you might find of interest..<br><br>--snip--<br>Check out MSDN web site - <A HREF="

http://msdn.microsoft.com"

http://msdn.microsoft.com</A><br>There

is a HOWTO having the ID Q161837 which shows U how to create a (relatively simple) DCOM Client/Server Application.<br><br>You could also use the Duwamish sample, also listed on MSDN (just use the Duwamish keyword to search). Although it doesn't refer to DCOM Client/Server apps, it might be useful for understanding the concept of tiered apps, which in your case definitely is a MUST. <br>--snip--<br> <p>Mike Lacey<br><a href=mailto:Mike_Lacey@Cargill.Com>Mike_Lacey@Cargill.Com</a><br><a href=
