Yes. Make a COM EXE and you can use any UI you want. The OLEPUBLIC classes are still available in an EXE. To register the EXE, simply issue:

MyCOMExe /regserver

The regserver parameter tells the VFP application to write the necessary registry entries.

One issue to contend with:
1. In order to make Normal forms visible, you need to either make _Screen.Visible = .T. or make the forms Top-level. If you make them Top-level, you lose the ability for modal forms.

HTH.
