"RPC" stands for Remote Procedure Call. IOW your machine is trying to execute a method of a server process running on another machine (your NT Server).

I don't know many details on how to do this in VFP, but based on the message I would guess that although you may have installed the COM server on the NT box, it may not be running. Getting it running may be as simple as executing the .EXE at the server console.

If it is running, there may be permissions issues with NT.

Sorry I can't help you more - I'm at the limit of my knowledge here.
