Ken,

DLLs startup in their own little world. They need to CD to the correct directory, open tables etc. It isn't going to know anything about the client that creates it by default. You'd have to have the client tell the server relevant things via properties and method calls.

You might be better off here with just another regular VFP object instead of a DLL. Especially if you are only using it from within VFP itself. At any rate you need to establish what the interface is between the client and the server. For example do you pass the server an object created from SCATTER NAME X? Do you call a server method with parameters? Do you set server properties and then call one of it's methods? You have a lot of options
