If the transaction is not resolved by SetComplete or SetAbort prior to the transaction timeout (1 minute by default) the transaction will timeout and abort.
If the ServicedComponent is disposed prior to the timeout it will also abort.

Does the transaction commit or abort when the base client releases its reference? I must admit I've always tended to make one big method call per transaction with either SetComplete or SetAbort. I find it easier to manage (even if some would call it un-OO). Alan, do you need to pass all this state? Can you not use construction strings? If several places use the same information it can be worth putting this in a separate COM+ object so you only need to put the construction string in one place. The minor performance hit is worth it compared to the lowered administration burden. Peter Foreman __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
