In addition to what Craig said, it would be easier for distributions if everything was in an mtdll including reporting. It does work in the COM exe workaround but it makes everything more cumbersome. When I asked about this when VFP9 was in beta, I believe they said it would be too hard to make the VFP report writer truly multi-threaded in a vfp mtdll..

>>Ken, reports can run in an mtdll environment but you can't put a "Report Form.." directly in an mtdll. You would need to first put it in a COM EXE and then create and call it from the mtdll. It works but some of the early documentation in the VFP9 download seemed to indicate it might be called directly from the mtdll...
