I built an ActiveX executable and I am referencing it in another program. When code in this executable runs the main program pauses until it finishes. I thought this would run on its own and let the main program do its thing, then the executable can fire an event when it is done.

Currently I just put a pause in this test program to try and get the main program to run and not hang until the executables event fires. In production this would be connecting to a database and doing a query. Tests with actually doing that pause as well.

Anybody have success in creating an ActiveX executable that doesn't hang the caller program while it is working?

Thanks in advance.
