How to interrupt DCOM Activity.

[dgpenn]

I have a thin client that makes calls to a middle tier via DCOM which in turn communicates with an alpha via winsock. My question is when the applications starts fetching data from the middle tier and the alpha I am unable to abort or interrupt the operation until all operations are complete. I get the switch to / retry MsgBox. I would like a way to abort or interrupt operation.

Thanks
Danny

Are U using an Activex.EXE ???

Kersey, I have an ActiveX.exe and your right the app must be running synchronus, I am now looking for code examples to either do interrupts or call back, what is the easiest and/or the best way to handle?

hi friends,

I'm currently working on a client/server program for my company using vb6.

Everything works fine until sometimes a "Switch To/End" Message Box popup(the server side) unexpectly. I search over the web(almost) but still didn't get a clue for it.

Just see your post in the forum and i hope you can help.

The seneriao is,
I MUST use a ActiveX.dll in which it is provided with the partnership company.
My server (written in vb) is a Standard.exe (do i need ActiveX.exe?) which will recieve a command from the clients, then it will grep data from a remote db (via a ADO object inside the ActiveX.dll I mention above) and write to a local db.

However, we will have serveral server(independent exe) which serve the clients request one by one. If one server is busy, it will ignore the request, then the second server will answer the request recursively.

Problem: sometime(not very often) a "Switch To/End" MsgBox will popup.

Why? And How could we reslove this problem?

I've send email to Microsuck, they can't help (just reply me dumb answer, suck)
I will be glad if you could help, you might be my last hope...
