This is one of those gotcha's of Win32 COM programming; you can be happily using some code which runs fine. You then drop it into a [web server / service / scheduled job] and lo! you're now running in a thread. I'm not sure (and perhaps someone can advise) whether there's any harm in *always* calling CoInitialize!
