Hi Joel,

>Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the copy of the runtime only applied to the single-threaded DLL. According to VFP Help:

The original vfp7r.dll run time creates a renamed copy of the library for each in-process .dll server running in the same process.

Yes, you're right. My mistake...

I ran a few tests to check out what actually happens by looking at the w3p process with ProcessExplorer and it only loads a single VFP9T.DLL. In addition, it looks like the runtime is truly shared.

Thanks for checking up on me <g>...
