Greetings and Salutations!

I am getting into the DCOM thing and hope that someone can assist me.

I am trying to find a way to have several applications communicate over a network with the purpose of advising when a user has made a change to a record. This way they can all update their views to reflect the changes made.

I would also use this communication ability to have the programs do other tasks all at the same time such as shut down so that I can perform maintenance tasks.

I imagine a single controlling file would be on a main computer or server and the other apps would connect to it.

Does this sound right? Is there a working example available?

Thanks for reading this.
