Why make EXE OLE servers ?

Just today, I just converted a MFC based OLE server to a dll.
And now it cannot talk to WORD 6.0 (which it could when the server
was an EXE).

WORD says the following in a OK/HELP dialog box:

"The server application, source file, or item cannot be found.
Make sure the application is properly installed, & thet it has
not been deleted, moved, or renamed"

I presume WORD 6.0 is 16bit and the server dll is 32 bit. Btw, the server 
dll
can talk to the OCLIENT container.

In process servers don't get marshalling.  32-bit DLLs work with 32-bit
apps, and 16-bit DLLs with 16-bit apps.
