DCOM implementation in Visual Basic 6.0

Create a component in Visual Basic. Then add that component to MTS on the server. Once you have succesfully done that you can export the package from MTS. If you export it correctly, a .exe file will be created. Copy that file to all client machines and run it. Now the clients know where the component is located in the network and you can use it. (and thus DCOM is configured)

CJ

You need to create an ActiveX EXE project. When you use the Package and Deployment Wizard on it, it will prompt you, asking whether you want to include remote automation support files. A DCOM object must be in an EXE, not a DLL.

On the client, you'll need to use the second parameter of the CreateObject(obj,server) call.

CJ suggested MTS. I just want to clarify. You can use MTS or COM+ if you have it installed on the server, and it will be more efficient than DCOM. If you do, however, your project needs to be ActiveX DLL. You can not install an out of process ActiveX (ActiveX EXE) under MTS.

Apologize to every body, I thought the question was locked and it would not let me propose another answer.

You shouldn't propose answers anyway. Post comments unless you think your oppinion is way more valuable than all those comments already posted before you.

Why did you do a COMPLETE removale of that comment, and not only rejecting it?????? Looks a bit weird in this question...

CJ

The comment was gibberish. "jhjhjh" or something like that.

Only function available for that line item was what I used, reject and edit; delete not an option to maintain activity trail for locked/rejected answers.
