The DLL's VFP - and VB for that matter - creates are Automation Server DLL's. A dll is a package consisting of 1 or more public classes. So, lets say your dll is named foo and you have a class in the dll called fooclass. To use the DLL, you would issue code like this:

o = createobject("foo.fooclass")

You need the runtime components for the langauge in which the dll is created.

So, to use a VFP or VB DLL, the client application must be able to host COM Servers.
