Thanks wOOdy...I kinda thought that. I guess I'll have to adjust the
class so that I can pass parameters to set the properties rather than
rely on the Server.Exe app's reading on the local INI file.

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.

Betreff: VFP application on client invoking class from EXE on server
VFP9SP2 Win10 clients, Win 2K12R2 Server
If MyClientApp.exe on the client creates an instance of a class from a VFP EXE
on the Server, and that MyServer.Exe has code that reads configuration values
from an INI file there on the server, I'm wondering if it will function
properly. 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!
