The COM server's environment isn't provided to the calling application; the only part of the server exposed to the client is the OLE interface (the public properties and methods.)

If you need the class to interact with the remaining VFP environment directly, you'd be better off instantiating the class it uses from a VCX or non-visual class definition in code.
