Re: [amibroker] Re: Amibroker as a COM object

Hello,

The only possiblity to have 2 instances running is to
launch the second one manually.
(What is possible is that you: 
a) run 1st instance (CreateObject) - it is not visible - so you are not aware of it
  - script hangs up and instance is still running
b) run manually second instance
c) run script again and it attaches to instance created in a) 

The other option is that a) is hanging (script is hanging or inside infinite loop)

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
