As the others replied it will work. But if you ONLY want to call it from vfp and not from other COM-aware programs I'd recommend splitting up your exe into app's - same modularity, higher speed (becaus no marshalling is needed) esp. if you call a method "from the other side" very often or with many parameters, less deployment issues (no registration!).
