Hey Claude,
some success for a change! :-) Did some further diggin´ and found out the following:

1) You apparently realized a month ago in a thread with John Jones that it´d be a good idea to include the VFP(8) runtime. You surely would spare people one pitfall! Is your´s a one man show? Do you want to sell this some time? Action!

2) I got the thing mostly running, both - on the Win2K VFP7 SP1 VFP8 runtime and the XP Pro VFP8 beta and VS 03 beta. 'Mostly' because only after creating the virtual directory manually. I got Admin rights,... on both machines, but I´m not logged in as Administrator.

3) One last important thing: One cannot recompile the name.dll after showing in the IE. VFP complains that the file is in use. As the initial show fails anyway I didn´t try the freshly compiled standard page and edited 'Hello World' immediately and could recompile the name.dll without problems.

Who could have the file in use? How to free it?

OK. Thanx and relax for Xmas!
Frohes Fest!
