in simplistic terms. COM is the underlying mechanism that allows objects to talk to each other on a local basis, DCOM is the same mechanism but across a network. From a VB view as long as you make a reference top any objects that you create locally they are automatically COM enabled. By using the dcom configurator you can also make these objects DCOM enabled.
