Linda,
First thing is to make sure you have the VFP runtimes on the new server in either WINNT\system32 or in the directory where the Fox Com Server is. This is a .dll COM Server, right? If that's the case, you just need to copy over VFP6t.dll and vfp6renu.dll. You will then need to regsvr32 vfp6t.dll and regsvr32 ren.dll from the command line.
BTW, if this is vfp 6, you'll really want to upgrade to SP5 - this is the first VFP version that really flies with ASP/VFP mtdlls and fixes all multi-threading problems and issues.

>We are using an application written by talented consultant 1.5 years ago which use asp programs and calls a Fox Com component. I must change some of the asp portion of the program and want to do so on our test server; in addition, production will soon be updated to Win2000/SQL2000 so we must be able tomake it work. The subdirectories containing the .asp and .htm programs as well as the entire FOX program directory structure, have been copied to the test server in the same relative directory structures. The SQL database files seem to be identical including all stored procedures. When I attempting to run the program on the test server, the .asp programs function smoothly until the final program, which accesses the COM component. Then I receive the error message

>The referenced Microsoft site was not much help but I have found in further research that this message might mean that a dll is missing, most likely aspgrid.dll; however I don't find aspgrid.dll on either the production web server or the production SQL server. I have gained some experience in asp, but am not FOX or COM programmer. Any help will be appreciated.
