ActiveX & Transactions

ActiveX controls can be run as "server side" applications, that is to say all the processing takes place on the server. This means that "thin clients" can be used that place a smaller burden on processing hardware. Using Microsoft Transaction Server to distribute functions and methods over a network allows almost true distributed processing.

This section describes some of the uses of a transactional environment and also how you can use Microsoft Transaction Server in business and other applications.

The first example describes a basic use of the transaction server from a practical point of view.
