Hi!

You should use DCOM, not RDS (as far as I know, VFP is designed to work using DCOM). Use DCOMCNFG.EXE to configure DCOM settings. You can also run object from VFP explicitly from remote machine by using CreateObjectEx() function. For example, specify class GUID as first parameter of this function and server name as a second parameter - and you can run your object without ANY special configuring either DCOM or RDS at the client side. This is great advantage because no need in special configuring at each client's workstation. You will need only run the DCOM manager at the server side and specify proper access rights for that object at the server to allow runnign that object from remote machines.

HTH.
