I appreciate UT's patience as my preperations to move my DCOM project from theory and questions, to a specification. Here is my model, and my question is: Will it work?
1) Project: Retrieve a name from a DNS server DBF/CDX based on an account number entered to the client, and return the name to the client form.
Given:
A DNS server with a Account/Name file.
A Client VFP FORM EXE with a text entry for an account number and a text box to contain the DNS returned name.
A VCX DCOM with the following properties and triggers:
1) An account_number property (receives the account number from client form).
2) An account_number_assign method (triggers a seek on the account_number to the DNS Account/Name DBF/CDX)
3) A return_name property (recieves the name resulting from the account_number_assign method)
4) A return_name_assign method (triggers a "forward" of the DCOM return_name contents to the Client name text box.)
Is anything missing or overlooked?
Thanks Terry
