Need Assistance With ActiveX In VFP

Ok guys, I'm at a critical point here, and I need a solution.

We have a VFP app that uses Crystal Reports. Our report viewer in built in, as are all the
dialogs used to prompt for parameters.

We have a client who wants to develop their own reports and their own parameter dialogs.
Their developers only know VB 6, so I thought that if they developed ActiveX controls, and
I programmatically dropped them on a base VFP dialog form, then the dialog would actually be
running inside our application.

All the VB portion needs to do is pass arrays of parameter info to the VFP form, so that
they can be passed on to the Crystal Report.

Problem is, for every VB control they create, there would have to be a VFP class that binds
to it and implements it's interface. I'm seeing that this probabaly won't work overall.

What would work is if there was a way for the VB ActiveX control to directly call methods on
the VFP form. Then the controls could simply pass they parameter arrays directly to the VFP
form.

I'm not sure if ActiveX control can call methods on a VFP form, and if so, I don't know the syntax.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
