Hilmar,

the problem is trying to create an instance of the object. There is no call outside of VFP and VFP is called from within an asp page. I have also created a test program (vfp) and here the problem surfaces as well...

>>I have created a vfp-com exe that I want to deploy with VFP8. I have it running with VFP7 and VFP8 without a hitch. It also works without any problems with VFP7 on a W2K-server.
>>However, when I deploy the solution in VFP8 I get the following error:
>>OLE error code 0x800401f3: invalid class string

>>What am I missing? What do I need to do extra to deploy it with VFP8. I have several applications in the same directory that run without any problems (with VFP8) so I think that all runtime files are available. Why is the VFP8 COM-solution is giving me a hard time...
