>one more issue for today,
>
>it is possible to create DLL's or "out of process" automatization servers using VFP 5.0 to be used with FoxPro for Windows 2.6 using the OLE automatization version that is supported by FP2.6 (e.a. there is an old rutine that calls an old dos program using either DDE or whatever, that rutine doesn't work with certain types of OS such NT, it is possible to write an OLE server-on VFP 5.0- that will work with a FPW 2.6 app?)

With FPOLE.DLL, you can run Visual FoxPro commands and evaluate Visual FoxPro expressions from applications that allow API calls but do not support Automation.
FPOLE.DLL contains six the following functions.

See DLL commands:
FoxDoCmd( )
FoxEval( )
SetErrMode( )
SetOleObject( )
CloseIt( )
GetLastErr( )

You cna call any EXE created with VFP5.0
