Hi Everyone,
We have a COM client which is using ole automation to access a COM single
instance server. When you start the client, it automatically starts the
server exe, as expected. When you quit the client, it automatically quits
the server exe, as expected. Now, if you start the server exe first so that
it already exists, then start the client, it connects correctly. When you
quit the client, the server stays behind, as expected, because it already
existed before the client started.
The problem is if you now start the client again with this same server still
running, a second instance of the server now starts. This is because the
server is single instance, so only one COM object can exist per server exe.
The question is, why does the client connect to the existing server the
first time, but can't seem to see it the second time and so starts another
server?
Regards,
