>VFP has better COM support, but to give us this they had to take away ALL user interface capabilities in COM servers. No forms, messageboxes or wait windows are allowed any more.

Erik,
It WAS a little annoying to lose that for my DLLs. However, I recompiled as an EXE, usually embedding my OLEPUBLIC classes in an existing EXE, to keep those capabilities. One might argue the 'appropriateness' of UI in DLLs, but I wish MS would have left the ultimate decision to the developer.
