>I have some VFP COM objects running in memory. In the task manager, I can see them in the Process tab. However, I can't remove them from memory. Those objects seems to be used by something. How can I kill them without having to reboot?

Haven't read the rest of the replies, so forgive me if it's already been answered. See Randy Brown's whitepaper at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro. It demonstrates how to automate MTS/Component Services, and though the whitepaper doesn't show you how, there is a way to automate Component Services such that you can shut a COM+ down.
