Hello Thomas, Thanks for your quick reply. I do not marshal anything because I don't need to pass objects between threads, each thread currently only deals with its own objects. I have also tried using a surrogate process to host the dll server (dllhost.exe) through the registry, but although the server is now launched in a seperate process, I still only get one process no matter how many DispatchEx calls I make from different threads.
