Hello,

I hope that someone can help me, I have recently started to use the sample client
demo and server demo programs in the Microsoft SDK, to help me understand
MS-Windows and OLE. I am experiencing difficultly in passing data between the 
server and the client.

I have devised a server that behaves as a seconds counter and a client that behaves
like a minute counter, along with a manager client application that has the seconds
and minutes applications packaged within it.

What I have done is to create an object in the seconds server that simply counts
upto 59 and starts again. I have allowed the object to be copied and pastelinked 
via the clipboard to the minute client, therefore creating a link between the 
seconds and the minutes.

What I would be grateful for is some advise (perhaps some examples) of how to pass
data (eg the number that represents the seconds) from the seconds server to the
minutes client, so that the minutes client could check for 59 and increment its
minutes counter. Should this be done via the clipboard or via calls to Get the data
? If via the clipboard what is the best way to put and read data of the clipboard ?

I would be very grateful if any OLE guru could help me with these problems - 
my email is below. 

		Thanks In Advance -- Sukhdev Khebbal
