It's possible, but not easy and not likely to be in the product anytime soon. Multithreaded programming is a pain in the arse (testing's not much fun, either), and unless customers are screaming and wailing for this (they're not, as far as I know), I wouldn't get your hopes up.

That being said, there are several ways to create multiple threads from within VFP. For MT testing, I use an inhouse DLL that can spin off multiple threads from within VFP. There is also a Threadserver.exe that was originally written for VB that works with VFP as well. I think I've also got a COM object that I wrote floating around somewhere on my drive that does this.
