Steve,

That should to it. Whatever app does the CreateObject() should be able to get rid of the object when it's done with it. I'm not sure of how it works in ASP though. If you are using a VFP client for the server you just:

oCOM = CreateObject( "TheDLL.TheCOMServer" )

oCOM.DoStuff()

oCOM = .null. && release the server
