>VFP doesn't support call backs, so a pointer to a method will not work. The closest thing to do what Bernard needs is a COM server that raises an event, and the VFP client can bind to that using VFPCOM.
What if the COM has a property that has a character or numeric value.
defin class mycom as custom
ReturnPointer=1 && Or some othe value assigned in process
procedure GetReturnPointer
return this.ReturnPointer
endproc
enddef

- AT the client
oMyCom=createobject('MyCom')
if oMyCom.GetReturnPointer()=1
do Process_1
endif

Why couldn't the client use a value requested from the server to point to a local process?
