It does require SP3 if you legally install the runtiume, rather than installing the development engine on each target system. You must have a licensed copy of VFP per system to install the development version of VFP on each target system.

If you have the development version installed, and issue SET DEVELOPMENT ON, it will compile on the fly.

> 3. You may also run VFP COM object and use 'DoCmd' method to compile PRG in run-time. This REQUIRE SP3 for VFP 6 at client computer, as far as I know.

No, this requirees the full development version to be installed on the system. The FoxServer engine is part of the development engine; to have COM services under the runtime, you have to write and compile a COM .DLL or .EXE and install it under the runtime, and in order to compile under the runtime, SP3 or SP4 must be installed.
