When you do the demo it asks if it is registered? I forget exactly what happened, but:
For DCOM to work you need to know where the exe you want run, and not have it local. So you did have the exe registerd on your machine.
Did you do a
\foxserver /regserver ? If so you registered it. That path will give the machine name to your registry. Only IP is used to communicate between the machines too.

>>Steve... you want to do... Server.Class, Machine...
>>ThisForm.oReIndexServer = createobjextex('Reindex1.Indexer','ClubServer')
>>For this to work, ReIndex1 would have to be registered on the local machine and the ClubServer machine.
>>>When I look at the VFPCOM example the EXE that is run has details on the sever page of the project. I cannot seem to get this to function for me.
