Nope, that won't work. There are a couple of ways you can do this:
1) Install the DLL as a COM+ application on the server, then export the client proxies. This will create a special install package that you run on each client. This is documented in the COM+ articles I wrote last year for FoxTalk and are now on the MSDN web site.
2) Instead of building a DLL, build and EXE then do a DCOM configuration on each workstation. This is documented in the VFP help file.

>See, this it the part we didn't get. 'Install'??? What we did was 'Build' a multi-thread COM server dll in VFP. Then we just placed it on the network in the folder where the .exe's were to be run from. And tried to access it. Only the PC that built it could use it.
