I think the answer to this is probably no but, just to confirm, does FB provide a COM interface so that FB can be called from another app via COM/COM+?
If not, when?

Hi Clive
No, there is no com interface and we do not currently have any plans to create one. What exactly are you looking to do?
We currently have a .NET app that developers use to run, view status and link to build reports from FinalBuilder builds. We have a set of FB builds that are run on a schedule via SQL Server jobs. To run adhoc build, the .Net app executes the required SQL Server job. It's all a bit clumsy. The idea is to redesign the .Net app to run the FinalBuilder project more directly and, yes, I know we can use the FB comand line for this. However, COM is a better interface in this case and we would prefer to use it.
My boss asked me evaulate Visual Build Pro for this reason but I would much rather stick with FB.
