Houston,
Now that the can of worms is open :)
How do you pass data between the forms and your COM object?

>Not so. I have a VFP COM object that facilitates access to the data and runs as an out of process OLE Server. This is configured to "run as" a specific User (using DCOMCNFG) - this User ID has access to the folder containing the DBF's. No other Users have access to the folder (not even Admin). If a User attempts to access the folder directly using say Windows Explorer they get an Access Denied message. Yet the VFP App that they run has access to the data through the COM object.
