RTD server on remote machine.
Hi. I am trying to set up a RTD server on a remote machine. I have it
working on a local machine already. I've also read all the microsoft articles, which aren't helpful. In particular, my question concerns the following comment on the microsoft help page: "When RTD server runs on a remote server, the RTD server must be an ..exe.". What does that mean? Is the exe supposed to be running? Is it supposed to create the server? What exactly do I register on the client machine? How can I register an exe? Basically, their article makes absolutely no sense. P.S. I don't care which language to use to create the server. I know about regasm.exe. My question concerns what to register. |

Well, it means that the RTD provider must be an exe that has a COM interface. The server is called thru DCOM. When you call CreateObject, the exe will start. I suppose this is the article you were referring to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q285888/ It makes perfect sense to me. /Fredrik /fredrik |

What do you mean, I call CreateObject? So the exe must be running?
How would excel know which dll (or exe) to use? What do I register on the client machine? |
