Hi Claude, sorry to drift off topic...

I've never put my COM DLL's into COM+, but have simply registered them on the server and referenced from from my ASP.NET on my app. What realistically am I losing by doing this?

>DCOMCNFG is something you don't need for VFP MT COM (thank god!). Use COM+ instead - here are some simple instructions that don't seem to be documented anywhere (at least for VFPers):
>COM + Setup Instructions for a VFPmtdll on Windows2000
>1.)go into Control Panel, Component Services
>2.)right click COM+ applications and select New.
>3.)going through the wizard, create an Empty Application,giving it a name, check server application, and select the appropriate account to run under.
>4.)After the Empty Application is created, right click on 'Components' under the newly created application.
>5.) select New/Component.
>6.) The wizard starts - select 'Import components that are already registered.'
>7.) select your Visual FoxPro mtdll from the list and it is added to this COM+ app.
>8.) right click on your COM+ application name and select 'Start'. The COM+ icon is now revolving in the Components pane.
