The way this works is I will need to send information to the methods/properties though. Port number, data stream, etc. Can I do this in my scenario?

>>I have a huge application written in VFP8 that we are not going to recompile with VFP9. The class I want to use is written specifically VFP9 and above with no ability to use directly in VFP8. I'm unable to edit many of the methods/properties. I want to use this class because it does exactly what I want it to and I have already used it in a very small VFP9 service. I will build the COM in VFP9, then reference it from the VFP8 code. Or that is what I believe I can do.
