Here's an even later response to .1 ;^)
The process *IS* supposed to work, otherwise the whole out-of-process
server concept is flawed. The method by which this is supposed to work
is called marshalling. Furthermore it does *partially* work. Note that
in .0 I said:

So the problem is getting back an array of, what is in effect, a UDT,
and *NOT* of getting back any data at all.
Cheers,
Brian

There's been considerable discussion of this topic - not all of it crystal-clear to me - on the MS-supported DCOM mailing list. The archives of this (and other COM/DCOM-related lists) can be searched at http://microsoft.ease.lsoft.com/archives/index.html I think you might want to start by verifying that the functionality you require (passing arrays of UDTs to out-of-process local or remote OLE automation servers) is supported from VB. From a quick scan of the list, there appears to be significant differences in the DCOM functionality exposed to VB clients and servers .vs. C++ ones. | |||||
