Check GetObject once more Thread #1071961

>Having a little difficulty ...
>
>My VFP9 application opens a database and other cursors. When looking up things in the database by various search methods, it displays info about them. What I want to do is activate it from VB or VBA, pass suitable parameters, and run the searches remotely.

>I have exposed a suitable OLEPUBLIC class to do the lookups.
>
>CREATEOBJECT("MyApp.MyLookupServer") would not do what I want because this would start a new instance at each call, and loading the database environment is non-trivial and time-consuming.
>
>I want to use a GETOJECT call so that I merely activate the running application, and order it about. Something like GETOJECT(, "MyApp.MyLookupServer") or GETOJECT(, "MyApp.Application").

>Unfortunately, this doesn't work (the above give different error messages.)
