My VB 6 app is a client to a VB-6-written in-proc ActiveX DLL.  When
the app terminates (after my Sub Main has already terminated) I get error
80010007 (below is the description from WinError.h).  This only
happens when running in the VB 6 IDE.  Why does this happen and how do
I fix it?
// MessageId: RPC_E_SERVER_DIED
// MessageText:
//  The callee (server [not server application]) is not available
//  and disappeared; all connections are invalid.  The call may
//  have executed.
#define RPC_E_SERVER_DIED

Request for Question Clarification by mathtalk-ga on 26 Apr 2003 15:01 PDT

Hi, battery-ga:

At a guess there is a COM object being instantiated, but not set to
Nothing before the program terminates.  If this only occurs in the
IDE, it may be harmless.

Are you seeing this when you allow the program to run to a natural
exit in the IDE, or only when you "stop debugging"?

regards, mathtalk-ga

This happens when the app terminates normally.

I added code to set all COM objects to Nothing (which would happen
eventually anyway), and the behavior persists.
