I want to create a "black box" of sorts with a class I've written. There is no visible UI to it; it's just connection/validation stuff. I want to use it across multiple projects. Do you suggest it be a DLL or EXE? I do not want this code reverse-engineered so I don't want to distribute the VCX nor make an .APP (as you can view code in the .APP). I want to be able to instantiate an object of this class and use it to validate some things like login and license validation.

Mike,
An EXE suggests it will do something additionally to the functionality you are describing. Perhaps a UI or data validations.
If this is not the case, I would make it a Multi-threaded COM DLL. Though that would mean you need to distribute the VFP9T.DLL.
There is the Single-threaded COM DLL as another option. I believe it does not require the VFP9T.DLL.
