>Nice note. Can you point me where I can read more about this? I need to know how much I lose when use this way. What if I will have only 3-4 methods in my COM object with no more than 3-4 parameters? NOte that I still like idea to do not register object at client side at all, because this cause additional mess with installation.

>>>In the VFP help for CREATEOBJECTEX command I read that remote COM object does not requires registering at the client computer when you use it by GUID.

>>You can do it this way, however it might be not a good idea, because in this case the client needs to retrieve the info about DCOM properties and methods from the server side type library, which is slower and decreases overall performance.
