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.&nbsp;&nbsp; We have a set of FB builds that are run on a schedule via SQL Server jobs.&nbsp;&nbsp; To run adhoc build, the .Net app executes the&nbsp;required SQL Server job.&nbsp; It's all a bit clumsy.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.
