Can I install an ActiveX EXE I wrote on one of my machines
on my Internal network at home and then access the ActiveX
EXE from another computer on the network - without having
to install and configure MTS?

I'm trying to envision how this would work but I'm not
sure how I would create a reference to the ActiveX EXE
(server) from the Client.

If the Server is only registered on the remote computer I
can't set a reference to it on the client?

I am just trying to better understand client-server
programming.


Thanks for any input,
Gerry

For this, you must understand process of activating comonents, in short,
when you CREATE OBJECT(... ,VB go to registry and search for progID, when
find then get location of .exe and type of server and start the instance,
but what if you want to run server on another computer?
VB will found DNS mashine name and apiID instead of clasid, end then go to
that mashine and activate the .exe on that computer.But is not simple as it
sound :-(
Search MSDN library for DCOM Architecture.
P.S. Checking Remote Procedure Files CB in Project Properties fo ActiveX.EXE
Project is god beginning :-)

Daniel

Thanks for the reply Daniel. It looks like this will
take a little research.

Take care,
Gerry

Actually, I think that you'll find DCOM easier than MTS....

Just my tuppence-worth...
