>You need to build an EXE (out-of-process) for DCOM, not an in-process DLL. See the docs in Chapter 16, "Adding OLE" and find "Compiling the Server":
If two clients instanciate DCOM at the same time, do two full VFP sessions need to wind up. I have heard that subsequent instanciations may only add 640KB to a single VFP session?

Its too bad the DLL cannot be a DCOM...

On the other hand, an out-of-process server can be deployed remotely and an in-process server cannot. Additionally, because the in-process server and the client share a process address space, any serious error in the .dll will terminate the client whereas an error in an out-of-process .exe would only terminate the server.

Thanks for the points
