Point A should still apply.

Hi Jason

I have yet to upgrade as I'm a little unsure about point (a). According
to the help for TIB_Session,
"If you are not doing anything with multi-threading then it will not be
necessary to instantiate this component yourself, since the system
provides a default session for the main thread automatically."
It sounds like this is no longer correct, is that the case?

What about the case where I share a connection with a DLL using the
dbHandleShared property - do I need to take steps to ensure the
IB_Connection in the DLL is owned by the same Session as the one in the
host?
