Not really since the code is executed by the server ON the server, so there's no OLE or embedding involved. On th other hand, executing the code through RPC or other means like DCOM could fall in that category. The client requests a process to take place, the server get the request, does some processing, send instructions to another server to process some stuff and get the results back... THAT could be under the patent. It involves Object Linking. | | That could be a big problem. This is the kind of stupid, | way-to-general patent that I hate! How did they get such a | stupid patent in the first place? We all remember the Unisys patent on GIF's don't we?
