SafeRef Function

[This product will work only on Windows NT 4.0 versions and earlier. For Windows 2000 and later, see COM+ (Component Services).]

Used by an object to obtain a reference to itself that's safe to pass outside its context.

Syntax

Set safeobject = SafeRef(Me)

Part

safeobject
An object variable representing the current object that's safe to pass to another object or client.

Remarks

When an MTS object wants to pass a self-reference to a client or another object (for example, for use as a callback), it should always call SafeRef first and then pass the reference returned by this call.

To use the SafeRef function, you must set a reference to Microsoft Transaction Server Type Library (mtxas.dll).
