Hi, we cannot unmarshal a fixed typecode (v 4.0, Windows platform). An exception is thrown in typecode.cc at line #4477, since tk_fixed is a plt_Simple but it was left out from that section of code. I guess there should be something like: case CORBA::tk_fixed: return TypeCode_string::NP_unmarshalSimpleParams(s, otbl); Thanks, Renzo Tomaselli
