>You'll forgive me, but I am new at this COM stuff. Ok. I compiled it as a Single Threaded COM component. I put it on the MTS server and tried to add the package. Everything is good until I hit Finish.

You need to compile it as a multi-threaded DLL.

Then it says:
>"The Component DLL's self-registering routine failed. the DLLRegisterServer function failed or did not register the component."

Most likely you don't have the VFP runtime files on the MTS server. COM servers require the the runtime files for whatever language was used to create them. There is a FAQ here that tells you what files you need. Remeber that you need the multi-threaded support file (VFP6T.DLL) instead of the single threaded version (VFP6R.DLL).
