Basics of Dcom

Hi,

Can someone help me with the basics of having an Active X exe on a server, and running it from a client.

I have compilled it with remote server option.
The client has referenced the tlb file on the server.

What should be my next step? I have tried a couple of things, but they haven't seemed to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, and under what OS are you running?

The OS will be either NT or 98.

I have tried to register it on the client, but I'm not sure exactly what to do.

I just recently became aware of the existence of CliReg32. I don't know what file to use with it. If I use the exe on the client, how can I be sure it isnt running on the client and not from the server.

Here are a few other basics i'm not sure about.

What do i do with the .VBR and .TLB files?
Help with CLIREG32?
Can you dynamically set the path to the exe?
Can testing be done in the VBE for projects like this or do they have to be complied and installed?

Thanks for the help.
