>Has anyone written VFP code for a DCOM object to be placed on a server, that can be called from a client in order to extract and pass-back the results of a query that is run be the DCOM object on the server?

Yes, Currently, I wrote a DCOM object to be palced on a server. Client call this object and pass a parameter to the DCOM object. In DCOM object, it use RAS
to connect SQL server, run remote view and SQL Pass-through to get results then aassign this results to a array property of DCOM object. Your client will get
these information.
