OK, I think I'm getting this:

but if the long-running exe (or service) is the app that creates and manages the sockets, listeners and queues, and the client apps are all connecting to Remotable Classes, then my client apps can call methods contained in the Remotable Classes, but they still can't call public methods and functions contained within the host .exe itself?

e.g. my .exe has a function like ReadMsgFromQueue(byval QNum as integer). If the client connects to <RemotableClassA>, it can see the methods of <RemotableClassA>, but it can't see the function ReadMsgFromQueue?

Either I still haven't got a handle on remoting, or what I want isn't possible - for the public methods and functions of the host .exe to be available to be called, just like traditional ActiveX EXEs under VB6.0

Or perhaps there is a further way in which server-created instances of the Remotable Class can converse with public functions contained within the host .exe?
