Hello Denise,
Probably the best way to do this is using DCOM. Write a small VFP Exe that has an OLEPUBLIC class defined in it. Then use CREATEOBJECTEX() to instantiate the object on the Server. You will probably have to mess with DCOMCNFG.EXE to configure the VFP COM server with the right permissions, etc.
Regards,
Houston.
