Hi, Have a DLL that controls PowerPoint through the COM interface. I can open and close .ppt files, and do a few simple things like, move to next slide and move to previous slide. I then have a Java interface that talks to the DLL through JNI All this works fairly well. Problem is a that I sometimes get the following error "Object is not connected to server" Why is this??? I have this running in a client server situation where the DLL and the JNI interface class is on a remote client and I communicate with it across RMI. Is this maybe cusing me problems. This can work fine for a while and then I get the error. Cheers Shane.    More>>
