Actually Roger, this is the scenario....

I create a COM object at the beginnning of the main thread. In the sub
thread, I need to access the same instance of the COM object. If it
were a normal object ie. not a COM obj, i was able to do it. But if it
were a COM object, its giving an attribute error? Should I pass a COM
object to the thread. If so How? Please let me know ASAP... Thnks
