Hi Tomasz, The role of the Exe server is to handle special OPC scanning/communications with a Control System. The Server is designed to run standalone and execute scheduled scan tasks using OPC, but we now have to implement automatic generation of report files that are normally done manually by a user using a client connected to this Server. The report generation objects are located in MFC Extension DLL's that are currently being used by client apps. The need is to execute the existing report objects in the background with hidden windows. My only problem is getting the resource chain initialized properly and I believe your solution to call a Regular DLL will work since it will initialize its own CWinApp object. :):):) Best Regards, Bill
I'm not sure, but I found one today while deleting all of my files on the ol' work PC that had an icon, but no filename! If you could duplicate that, then create a program icon that was all white and transparent, you'd be in!
