Hmm, the problem is usually that REPORT FORM doesn't work in a VFP COM DLL. The solution to this is to put it in a COM EXE and call that from the COM DLL! I suppose it may be a security issue in which case you would need to go into DCOMCFG and set those properties to allow it to print. If there are really no Interface elements at all, you might want to consider making them into VFP COM MTDLLS since the performance can be twice as good...
>I'm in the process of making 3 apps that are currently regular EXEs into COM EXE that will have no GUI - they will be installed on a server and accessed via a workstation using DCOM. 2 are working fine, but the 3rd seems to be having problems with REPORT FORM. I tried SET TALK OFF and the NODIALOG option for REPORT FORM to eliminate any GUI elements but it is still having problems. I've tried trapping the error but it seems to just freeze at the REPORT FORM command. I need to send the report to a printer but I've also tried TO FILE with the same result.
