I have a VFP 5.0 executable program called ABC.EXE. It is OLE server enabled.

In it is a form called abcform with a field called abcfield.

How do I read its value?

I want to be able to type a command in the command window to print it to the console using '?' or set it to a variable oField1.

I actually have the complete hierarchical reference to this field / control.

It is:abcform.abcpageframe1.page3.txtfabcpr

I thought I had to use createobject to read and then tweak properties to later edit the field value but none of my syntax has yet worked.

I checked the registry and as far as I can tell, ABC.EXE has been registered.
Just in case it wasn't, I ran abc.exe /regserver.

Can someone help get me started? I have been struggling for days.

Thank-you in advance,

Stew
