Is there anyway to spawn a new instance of Vim viaOLE, through some

If one is not running it spawns one.
I was wanting to spawn a new one everytime.
Wondering if there's been any changes to this with Vim 7.3. I'm too
find it needy to spawn an individual instance every time. I find it a
deadlock that server name can only be set at startup using --
servername, and I can't pass anything to
CreateObject("Vim.Application") (from VBA).
Alternatively, is there any registry tweaks that I can do to get what
I want? I'm not that familiar with Windows technologies, and maybe
this is stupid: is there hack/procedure to get something like
CreateObject("Vim.Application2") work so that the instance registers
itself as a server, say "MyServer"?
I can't remember if I responded back on this thread.
I have everything working as I need it but this is how I did it.
From VB do the usual call. This will either spawn a new instance of
Vim or connect to an already running version.
My plugin, OutlookVim, creates a number of different public functions.
When I want VB to do something it calls a pulic function.
In Vim the public function checks if this Vim instance is the correct
one. If so, continues. If not uses Vim's built in remote_send()
function to send the command to the correct instance.
There is error checking all the way along.
This allowed me to do exactly what I wanted all via Vim with no
external hacks.
HTH,
Dave
