I think you're seeing the situation the wrong way. Your COM server should be Unique but think of it as the entry point for what you really need to be in multiple instances. For example, see it as getting the handle of an Excel Application object, then you would want your client app to be able to select or create a new Excel Workbook. So, Basicly, Client App gets a Handle to the COM server primary object which might contain a collection of SomeAppInstance that your client application can present to the user. The user is presented with 3 choices, 1) Select an instance, 2) Create a new instance, 3) Cancel Selection/Connection. Hope this applies to your needs.

You can intermingle gdi and gdi+ code, so yes. SetROP2() is not supported in gdi+ anymore i believe, but you can still call the old SetROP2() as you still have a dc handle somewhere in your code. cheers, swinfeaster Check out Aephid Photokeeper, the powerful digital photo album solution at www.aephid.com.
