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

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! --Mike
