>I'm writing a simple COM object in VC++ 5.0 that will be used in VFP 5.0. The control has a single interface that has four basic functions. One returns a string, one returns an int, on returns a float, and one returns a BOOL. In VB, all four functions seem to work fine. In VFP, all work fine except the method that returns a BOOL. VFP gets a 0 or a 1 from it, not a .t. or .f. (it gets an integer, not a logical).

Gary,

I don't know if this will help, but consider the following: Boolean return values in the Windows API are generally acutally numeric. Zero is equivalent to logical false, and not zero (usually one) logical true. You can see this by declaring any API call that returns a BOOL as an INTEGER or SHORT, and checking the value.
