MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a Visual Basic ActiveX .exe named TwoInstances, add a class module named TestObject and implement the following method:
   

         Public Sub AnyMethod
           'Do Anything
         End Sub
   
   						

2. Create a Visual Basic Standard .exe, include a reference to TwoInstances.TestObject, add a command button (Command1) to the default form, and type the following in the Click event of the command button:
   

         Private Sub Command1_Click()
           Dim objTest As TwoInstances.TestObject
   
           Set objTest = New TwoInstances.TestObject
           objTest.AnyMethod
           Set objTest = Nothing
   
         End Sub
   
   						

3. Create an Active Server Pages page with the following code:
   

         <%
            Set objTest = Server.CreateObject("TwoInstances.TestObject")
            objTest.AnyMethod
            Set objTest = Nothing
         %>
   
   						

4. Start the Task Manager, and click the Processes tab.
5. Run the Visual Basic Standard .exe. Note the running instance of the .exe in the Task Manager.
6. Run the Active Server Pages page.
