I have now sorted it out. I've created a minimal class, all of it's methods simply forward on to same name methods in my form/main server program so the only thing that gets created each time is the small forwarding class. this seems to work fine, the system will never have more than 10-15 users max and it's more than capable of handling that. thanks for the help guys.

the new setup.


Serverstart program ---- Starts multi use Server and does openform. form is stored in public variable name known to all new classes.

clients ---- create new minimum class in server instance. all class methods are passed to the one server form.



this took a lot of working out, shame the documentation is so unclear on what works and why.
