Hi Scott,

As Gerben and Eric said, using a DLL for buisiness logic can easely be done.
When you want to use the buisiness-logic from VFP and other applications,
then you probablt want to go with COM-DL
The disadvantadge using the DLL (COM object) is that you'll have to register
it. This off course can be done in a good installation, but you also can
consider a different alternative: Compiling the different modules into .APP
These APP are easely used from other VFP applications AND you can use forms
inside the app in your applications

HTH,
Sietse Wijnker
