Hi all,

We have been having a real nightmare with DCOM with one problem only.

All works fine, but every so often, our Server which handle all messages cannot talk back to clients.

Problem:

Clients are still connected to Server as they can still send events to the server, but server cannot return events back to the client.

This behaviour is :
- unreproduceable.
- does not occur with all our clients
- seems to disconnect after 5 to 15 minutes

Would this have anything to do with passing an object by val or by reference??

There is an article on Microsoft Web site, which relates somehow to this problem, but unfortunately installing SP 6 of NT 4.0 Server, did not resolve the problem!

We are using CoCreateInstance and CreateObject is that is of any help!

Application is written is visual basic 5.0 sp3.

Any help would be appriciated as this is becoming a critical problem as it seems to occur, more and more often!!!
