>If you're using VFP 6, you can base your COM object on the Session class (rather than the usual Custom). It supports private datasessions similar to forms, but in a lightweight non-visual object. Only downside: you have to define them programmatically rather than in the Class Designer. I have no idea who thought up that lame idea [g].

I converted my COM object to be based on the SESSION class. It generates a cleaner MyCom.exe which registers nicely on the server and clients without the need to hack the .VBR file. I set it as Multi-User and set the datasession property to Private. It now runs a separate data session for each connection but it still instantiates one DCOM session on the server per user.
