Hi,

How do you set up 2 vfp apps so that one is a server and one is a client.
How does the client application register itself with the server application so the server knows who to communicate with?

I host an activeX control in a vfp form that is basically an image browser. I can point the control to any directory and it will display a thumb nail list of all of the jpg files that are present. The jpg file names are stored in a collection of the activex control that I access in a for - endfor loop.

I made a little project and generated a compiled exe that works fine. I would like to use this exe as a generic image browser. I would like to have it sitting on the taskbar waiting for me to maximize it. How do I get this stand-a-lone project to host information, ie:file names, to a seperately running vfp client. I guess that's really the question. How do you set up 2 vfp apps so that one is a server, one is a client and how does the client register itself with the server application?

Thanx,
Neil
