from what I found, you don't really have to know much about it. Delphi handles the details for you but you do have to follow the directions given very explicitly. Understand though that it's "out of process" ActiveX component and susceptible to all their associated problems. For example, you will have to de-register and re-register it if you move it to a different directory opr change the executable name, because it finds that info in the registry. You will know that that's the problem because of errors when it tries to run, although they may only be found in the events log if they happen on the server. Dave

You will need to learn a bit about DCOM in general to make it work. I have successfully created a simple prototype project that contains a DCOM client that connects to a Datasnap server on my local wireless network and over the internet. I'd be happy to share my learning experience with you. I'd also appreciate learning how and why you used the TSocketConnection. I am developing in D7 Enterprise.
