Glenn got his reply in while I was typing mine. I think we are saying the same thing however... The problem here I think is that what we are commonly referring to as a "thread", isn't. It must be viewed as if it is a separate process. If you create an object in one "thread" (process), it does not exist in the other "thread" (process). I can't see any way to use the object syntax on an object that was not created in my "thread" (process). Maybe I missed something along the way. So, I resorted to the "classless" call mechanism. --- Tom Tom Allebrandi [EMAIL PROTECTED]
