It's me again with some additional data.

The Midas\Adhoc example provided with BCB5 doesn't work either.  That is, it
works as long as I run both the client and app. server on the same machine, but
when the app. server is deployed to my NT 4x workstation, no go.  This time I
followed the instructions to the letter for deployment contained in the
paperwork I got with my licenses using InstallShield.

I've been unable to call my app. server methods either through IDispatch or
IAppServer using Bind() as well as CoClassCreator::Create().

Someone out there MUST be using BCB 5 to develop nTier apps. with the app.
server running on a different machine.  I've run out of string and could sure
use some help.

Regards,
John
