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!).

Thanks for the heads up Thomas. This sounds like the way for me to go. Are there any other issues that you are aware of that I should consider with this approach?
