Always use "Dll multi thread com server". What sense does it make to ever use anything else when there is the possibility of multiple users on your web site? If you look at the code and settings for ActiveVFP(http://www.activevfp.com) you'll see that vfp mtdlls always work and are much better than Exe Automation Servers. The problem is that Microsoft is not putting out good examples for setting these servers up - just drips and drabs of info here and there. I've tried to put all that info into ActiveVFP so that developers have it all in one place, in a free piece of software...

>Both dll modes did not work. Successful call was only the first one, the rest of the calls had 50/50 success rate, Foxisapi.dll/Status /Reset also had 50/50 success rate. After the call fails you can't recompile the foxweb.dll even if Reset is successful.
