Chad,
I just wanted to elaborate on John's answer.

Lets say you have 100 workstations using an application and 50 of those stations instantiate a component that is being managed by MTS, and then they call a method that takes lets say 30 seconds to run. Well here's what happens:

1. The first person that instantiated that object finishes in around 30 seconds.

2. The 50th person completes his/her operation in around 1500 seconds (30 * 50)


This is because VFP 6 servers will not process code concurrently. VB 5 object will process concurrently.


This is where the difference is.

So now you need to ask yourself is it wise to have VFP object managed by MTS or not ???

You be the judge.
