Pol:

I'm not sure there is a solution to this problem with this version of VFP. I have heard rumblings about the next version supporting some type of multi-threading. I have a similar situation, but I use VC++ as the client. In my earlier tests I could not get VFP to run independently as both the client and server. Unfortunately there is not much in the docs about ActiveX or OLE Automation with VFP.
