>>Some of them are not correct. From what I understand you have a chance to compile it some way. If it's so why would you ever want to create a COM and deal with COM problems. Creating a COM and using it as a 'server' looks appealing but it's also a trouble IMHO. Instead create your objects as needed using those libraries. In code the difference looks like:
>>
>>*COM
>>oMyObject = createobject('myCOMDLL.myCOMClass')

>>oMyObject = newObject('myClass','myClassLib.prg') && or myClasslib.vcx

Nope, it would not work if the class is designed for VFP9 only as documentation states.
