>>You can't make DLL's from VFP. However, from this fragment of information I gather that you want to use DLL's within VFP. If the DLL's are standard Win32API, VFP 3.0 was shipped with an extremely good reference on win32API function calls. If it is a DLL not belonging to that group, the vendor of that DLL should supply you with a list of exported functions which you can use within. VB will only list functions from DLL's registered (probably also referenced in a VB project. Unsure of that). Otherwise you will require the source code, and need to look at the .def file where all exported functions are listed.

An oversight Satya, you're correct. OLEservers are, of course, DLL's. The files you require are VFP500.DLL, and possibly VFP5ENU.DLL and Vfpole50.DLL.
