Jim,
>Can anyone point me to a cookbook set of instructions for implementing DCOM servers in VFP? In other words, how to register the servers, etc. How to get the client to successfully use CREATEOBJECTEX()? I can make a COM server EXE or DLL, but I don't know how to get to it from a client machine successfully.
There is an entire section explaining all of that in the VFP Developer's Guide in your MSDN docs. "Creating Automation Servers" and "Using Remote Automation".
