Or I could just copy the Server EXE to the client and call it from there
with its own customized INI settings....problem would be that if it
changes, the Client workstation would need the update. Solved by a
Loader.exe I guess! ;-)

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!
