    Question COM/DCOM Question

    We've got two servers both inside the firewalls on our LAN. Server A has got a VB executable that uses Outlook components to send emails. It also has SQL. Server B doesn't have Outlook or SQL. We want to execute the VB executable on Server A from Server B.

    Do you know of any simple way of doing that?

    Can't you use the Shellexecute API? I've never tried it over a network but it accepts a path, so just put in the path of the EXE on the other comp.

    Use COM+

    That way you can get a COM interface (for success or failure) and COM+ hides all of the details of exactly where it is that you want the executable to run (theoretically)
