Charles,
As Claude posted, you could use MTS/COM+. I would recommend using something like this instead of a homegrown solution. While VFP COM objects can not be pooled (because of the lack of free threading support), MTS/COM+ does have Just-In-Time (JIT) activation and run-time file caching which speed up instantiation and reduce resource utilization when not in use. The "pool" approach would hold all resources all the time and may hurt the performance of your IIS system.

HTH.
