For such thing as a "reporting server", I would certainly use a foreground, solid VFP application (always running on some server), and a light-weight ASP or ISAPI filter which receives the client requests and place them in a queue.

You can use MSMQ or file-based messages, and you can build the page and application by your own, or use something as Rick Strahl 's Web Connection which is a great product.

That kind of solution scales well, is easy to debug and monitor, and you dont have to deal with "hidden COM exceptions" and that ugly kind of stuff.

Hope this helps.
Jose.
