I have a case where I would like to have more then one SocketConnection
"talking" to the AppServer so I can run a data fetching in the background.

My idea is that the SocketConnections are created in the context of the main
thread and each time I need to fetch data in the background I create a new
search thread which is then getting one socketconnection in order to fetch
data.

Since the AppServer interface is created in the context of the main thread I
need to marshal the interface into the search thread. I have past experience
in marshalling interface between threads. The problem I encounter is that
when I am trying to unmarshal the IAppServer interface.


constructor TSearchThread.Create(CDS: TClientDataSet; OwnerHandle :
THandle);
begin
FreeOnTerminate := true;
FOwnerHandle := OwnerHandle;
FCDS := CDS;
FCount := FCDS.PacketRecords;

//Marshall the AppServer interface into the stream...
OleCheck(CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream(IAppServer, CDA.AppServer
as IUnknown, IStream(FStream)));
inherited Create(false);
end;


procedure TSearchThread.Execute;
var
Options: TGetRecordOptions;
AppSrv: IAppServer;
....
begin
OleCheck(CoInitialize(nil));
try
//Unmarshal the interface
OleCheck(CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream(IStream(FStream), IAppServer,
AppSrv)); <------ error!

This last row is not working I am getting the error "An error occured when a
typ library or a DLL-file could not be read". This error message is
translated from Swedish so it may not be the correct in English. AppSrv:
IAppServer; is declared in the TSearchThread class.


Can anyone help me out here? Please any idea is appreciated!

TIA
Fred

Just a guess
Move the call "CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream" after "CoInitialize"
