I would like one instance of MATLAB to be an ActiveX client. I would like to instantiate another instance of MATLAB as the ActiveX server.

MATLAB can act as an ActiveX automation server and be called from another instance of MATLAB. You can learn more about this functionality at the following URL:

MATLAB: Can I open multiple instances of MATLAB using ActiveX

In MATLAB 5.2 and earlier versions it was not possible to instantiate multiple copies of MATLAB via ActiveX.

As of MATLAB 5.3, it is possible to do this. Instead of using a ProgID of "Matlab.Application" when instantiating MATLAB, use "Matlab.Application.Single". For example use the following:

set Matlab1 = CreateObject("Matlab.Application.Single")
set Matlab2 = CreateObject("Matlab.Application.Single")

This will create two separate instances of MATLAB in Visual Basic. See Chapter 7 of the External Interfaces/API Guide for more details on using MATLAB as an ActiveX automation server:
