thanks - p

It needs to be run through MTS to get the context. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it use MTS when you run it from the development environment. But when you are running the program in development it doesn't use MTS.

or if i need to create an object :
If IsIDE = False Then
Set ljBus = GetObjectContext.CreateIns
Else
Set ljBus = New Frcst_B.CMainSrch

you dont need to do anything, provided you set your class to something like 'No Transactions'. VB will then run your component in MTS/COM+ on the fly.
Make sure your class Implements ObjectControl too. i wouldnt hold the objectcontext in class scope - just use it as you need to within each method call.

if my dll that is trying to retrieve the objectcontext is compiled and in mts then vb does run it fine.
then problem is that when i want to step thru the code that is trying to get the objectcontext, the context comes back as null.
i read the article that rkot2000 mentioned above.
"...
To facilitate application debugging using Visual Basic 6.0, a component that uses ObjectContext can
be debugged by enabling a special version of the object context. This debug-only version is enabled
by creating the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
Note that when running in debug mode, none of the functionality of MTS is enabled. GetObjectContext
will return the debug ObjectContext rather than returning Nothing.

this is for windows NT 4.0. i never found anything on W2K. Right now, im just using conditional compliation to get around this. but, if this can be done in NT4.0 then it should be possible in W2K.
