Well, the only tool I know of is Spy++ which is installed along with VC++. So I increase my points to 400 and would like to know what these tools are (the names please).<br />

Is there any way to monitor what OLE messages are passed between different processes on NT 3.51?<br />
<br />
My problem is this:<br />
I have a client (written i VB) and an OLE Automation server (written in VC++ 4.0, approx. 100 objects each having about 15 methods in average).<br />
<br />
Sometimes when the client is executing a CreateObject statement I get the error message &quot;OLE Automation Error. OLE service could not communicate with the object server&quot;. Now, if I try to execute the statement again, in a loop for instance, the statement will sooner or later succed. The maximum number of iterations in the loop so far is<br />
about 40. Usually it will succeed one the second iteration.<br />
<br />
I am unable to find the cause of this error, so I was thinking that if I could montior what was happening in &quot;who i calling who, and what is returned&quot; then I might be able to get some progress.
