Question
Are the COM object classes safe for multi-threaded applications?
Answer
No. The COM object classes are not safe for multithreaded access. Multithreaded applications that use the COM interface must ensure safe thread access to COM resources on their own.
That said, multiple applications accessing the COM object model simultaneously will be fine as long as each application uses its own back-end Session object.
