Whoa, Wayne!!
Back up a step please!
Just when I thought I was understanding all this stuff..... (I've been doing some heavy duty reading this past week - this is all brand new to me!).
Can you please explain two things:
1. How DCOM would be different than COM in this instance?
2. I have a basic idea of how to create a COM Server, but what does it take to do something in DCOM? Is it a similar process? Do you know of any references that I could read to find out more about DCOM and VFP?
Thanks for your help!
