Glen,

It is handled under the Security tab when you right-click on a COM server and select Properties from the shortcut menu. Check out Access and Launch permissions.

> I forgot to mention that we are on VFP7, which seems different than what I remember in VFP6. I now have a Win 2000 machine on which I can run cliReg32 to register a com for remote access. The com object fails with a End Point mapping error which I see means the Automation Manager is not running. I seem to remember an Automation manager selection when I was running vfp6, but not now. Is there one?

As Craig posted, his articles on his web site and in FoxTalk are some good ones. I believe Rick Strahl has some others on his web site (www.west-wind.com).

HTH.
