Hi John,

>Have to confess, my stuff kept in VFP now is compiled into C++ dlls that no longer need a VFP runtime, using VFP Compiler whose author not only has fixed the VFP known bugs but also has a beta trial of a tool to compile into proper 64-bit dlls able to use 64-bit ODBC drivers and 64-bit Forms 2.0 or NET ActiveX controls. Not sure I care so much about the 64-bit, but it extends viability well past the point where I won't need to care.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the VFP 64-bit compiler

Would you mind answering a couple of questions about it ?

- did you notice a difference in performance / execution time?

- did you test the compilation into COM object?

VFP C++ Compiler can compile a COM server program as:
1, Win32 executable / COM server program, the file extension is EXE, the dynamic link library extension is DLL;
2, Single-threaded COM server program, the file extension is DLL, the dynamic link library extension is EXE;
3, Multi-threaded COM server program, the file extension is DLL, the dynamic link library extension is EXE.
VFP C++ Compiler only compile the COM server program, it does not process the COM server program registration.
