You'll need to go a little further with the COM object. There are many options on setting an exception in the firewall. I open the port, and give the exception a meaningful name. The code I pasted is from the forms init. It determines if access to the COM object is available. Some of my clients would want to run me up a flagpole if I released the whole executable instead of the single port. Most wouldn't know the difference. Inno has it's challenges. Installing a Windows service was interesting. I've done some other strange things I never expected to do in an installer. How do you want the firewall configured. I'll post the netsh command and a VFP method. -- Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
