>>I could have sworn that I remembered seeing an example of doing something like this, so I went digging, and found the server example that shipped with VFP 5, that implements a pool in VFp using timers. So I compiled my project in VFP 5 and it worked! Did we lose something that I am not aware of? Do timers not work in COM servers any more? On my machine, running the following server as either a single use, multi-use or out of proc server produces no results. No errors, it just doesn't work.

Duhh- my sample code shows instanciating the Fox object instead of the COM server. It works on my said with the native object as well- did you try it with the COM server?
