>Whoa. Come again? This is a feature? I don't get it. It seems to me that a COM object is, by definition, separate from its host.

That's what I said... I'm not clear on why or how this is happening because the COM object is even using its own instance of the VFP runtime. I was told that's the way it's supposed to work though because SET DEFAULT TO changes the path for the running process.


>Out of curiosity, did you try the same scenario with the COM server as an EXE? I am curious if the fact that a DLL is inproc as opposed to outproc...

An EXE will not exhibit this behavior.
