Hi Eric,
The application is a standalone AIR app running on the desktop. The app is not being served up by a web server. The COM objects are part of an SDK exposing a proprietary data store that is on the local machine. I appreciate the help but I think we might be talking about two different things.

The COM objects I am using provide data access to a custom data source.

Is this really the only/best way? Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
