When you instanciate a COM object in VFP (and most other client programs), VFP searches the available interfaces by calling the QueryInterface method of the IUNKNOWN interface of the server. IUNKNOWN only knows how to query the original interface (the stuff stored in the tlb of the server).

Erik,

One of the reasons mentioned in the KB article, was that properties added in this method would never show up in a type library.
