Hi Mike, you start the main exe on your local PC. It runs in the RAMspace of your local PC. It doesn't matter where you're going to fetch the sourcecode, modules or classes from. VFP doesn't care if it was stored on a local disk C:, D: or a remote disk called \\server\SomeStuff\. All it knows: I'm running on this PC, therefor it will read your ini on your local PC.
It would be different if you'd run a DCOM component on that server via CreateObjectX(), because that instance would get started on the server, and you would get a remote objectreference. wOOdy -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <profox-boun...@leafe.com> Im Auftrag von MB Software Solutions, LLC Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

I don't have the setup to quickly test that theory so I thought I'd ask here. MyServer.exe is usually always run on the Server. It uses a SETTINGS.INI file to determine where the data is located as well as other property values set at run time. This client has a VFP app that runs on everybody's virtual space and I want to hook into an existing class from MyServer.exe but don't want to copy the code to the other app. Ideas/comments/suggestions? tia! --Mike [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/04bc01d687c2$3f577630$be066290$@wondzinski.de ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
