I admit I know little about COM-DLL. But if I understand it, it has to be registered (negative). And didn't MS discourage using COM-DLL? (maybe I confused things).

But, I do call a small VFP 9 exe (not COM-DLL) from this ASP.NET application. And it works very well.
Why could not I create a regular small VFP 9 app and convert this report to the PDF using XFRX?
Must it be a COM-DLL?

Thank you.
