Craig,
Just one comment here: STA does not mean single-threaded. See this link:
http://www.techvanguards.com/com/concepts/multithreading.asp
A key passage is
"Here's a few important characteristics of the STA:

There is 1 and only 1 thread in an STA. All objects that reside in the STA are serviced on this one thread.

A server can implement multithreading by creating multiple STAs. Since an STA contains 1 thread, multiple STAs result in multiple threads. Furthermore, each STA can "house" more than 1 object. This prevents the server from excessively creating a lot of STAs!" ...
>No. See my additional posts.

>>Craig,
>>I don't think you stated anything different than I did, yet you jumped to your conclusion in your statement that:"VFP COM DLLs are NOT multi-threaded". Everything you quoted said that VFP mtdll are not "free-threaded". You're obviously getting multi-threading confused with free-threading...
