Debug small ATL COM EXE Server

There are at least two problems wrong with my ActiveX EXE server project. They both have to deal with the way I am passing in Objects (interface arguments) from clients. I have attached the VC++ server project and the VB6 client (see the examples\vb6\ directory) For example, this code will crash with a null pointer exception on the 4th or 5th loop: Dim x As New DateTimeInfo Dim y As New BarInfo Private Sub Form_Load() 'This code will crash For n = 1 To 5 [login to view URL] = 1 [login to view URL] = x [login to view URL] = 1 Next n End Sub The source of the problem turns out to be AddRef... I was not using that in the [out]. But, since I need to hang on to pStartDateTime and pEndDateTime on the [in] side, I also need to AddRef there. Now the problem is this: The application works, but does not exit because of the extra AddRef in the put_EndDateTime function. So, I added a FinalRelease() in the CBarInfo class where I call pEndDateTime->Release(), but this doesn't seem to really release them - and the server still stays in memory. Any ideas on how to release them? I don't think FinalRelease() is being called. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
