I wish! I have tried sending safearrays to C++ clients and servers using the DevCon VFP6 without success. I need to send pointers to safearrays to servers and 'fill in' safearray pointers from clients, but couldn't make it work, had to resort to BSTRs. If anybody has done this with safearrays, PLEASE post the technique.
