Rick,

For my eyes that setup code is much lower than your usual well-balanced mix of brevity, clarity and functionality. Adding a few 3-liner methods (or 1-liner methods if loBridge.CreateComValue() accepts an optional tuValue Parameter) would enable you and later your users to write shorter and to my eyes more readable code and forcing a Cast in each method adds a liiiittle type security at least to the creation stage.

>

loNet = loBridge.Createinstance("Westwind.WebConnection.TypePassingTests")

*** Create ComValue objects for each parameter
loInt = loBridge.CreateComValueInt(10)
loString = loBridge.CreateComValueString("Hello World.")
loDecimal = loBridge.CreateComValueCurrency(5.22)

>>>Do you mean the YourExe.config file? If so that file needs to be with the executing EXE. So if you're running in Fox IDE it'll be vfp.exe.config. If you're running your actual exe it'll be YourExe.exe.config.
