He was trying to "embed" a new VFP session into a parent/container VFP form using a an ActiveDocument embedded in a browser control AciveX. This IMHO would spawn multiple processes running on different threads in the same application.

>>Multithreaded VFP applications using AciveDocument. Interesting thought. I have never had the need to use Activedocument, but this discussion has caught my attention. If this indeed can reliably be used in this way, why would MS not want to keep this functionality and possibly enhance it rather than dump it?

Hi Gary,

I was indeed making that point, I thought quite explicitly. For my immediate purposes, I am more interested in the aspect of supporting nested instances of an entire VFP application within a child window as cleanly and easily as possible. Both this and the multi-processing/multi-threading consideration are general programming issues that justify continued support of VFP Active Documents. I hope that people will recognize this and encourage Microsoft to fix the problems that I noted, and to consider even taking the bold step of making some small further improvements to this potentially very useful and powerful capability.

Mike
