I don't know much about DCOM other than what I've read in articles, but I thought DCOM was supposed to make objects available for use no matter where they are (local or network) in a transparent fashion. Using a new function specifically for Remote Objects seems to fly in the face of this. Is there something I am missing, or is this yet another kludge to get something to work in VFP that already works in other MS products? Thanks for any insight you can provide.
