Ok, well I have had a play with the INDY stuff, and got it working, but its still not quite right. Its prob. Just me tho...doing it late at night which prob. Doenst help.
But I found an only Delphi 4 book I have which had about DCOM in it. The only thing that looks like a hassel is the client installation. I.e. manually having to say where the server is etc. Can this be don't progmatically via say a Setup program or something? Otherwise its too much hassel to try and get sometimes computer iliterate or people that can only manage an install to setup DCOM.

I thought DCOM was invented for this purpose. Why is it an overkill? I would think it is easier to use than mail slots or raw TCP/IP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "vss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi all. > I have a need to send data from one app to another which mcan be on > the same machine or on another PC.
