>I'm wanting to build a VFP COM server and place it on a server under control of MTS. This COM server is going to open all of my databases/tables and feed the form textboxes,etc data as well as save their updates thru methods of the COM server. I intend on creating the COM server object when the application is opened. The question is whether this in-process COM server will still 'execute' on the server machine (as opposed to the clients') so that the entire databases/tables won't have to travel over the network? This COM server will eventually act as a COM object for some ASP web pages too.

Yes. That's exactly what will happen. The server will process the requests and open the files. They will not travel across the network.
