Sure... here's a quick step by...

(this is all in 6.0 version... 5.0 may be the same)

Open VB
When the Create Proj comes up double click on Standard EXE
Select Project -> References... from the menu
Select a OLE server... I selected FPOLE and some other fox stuff...
Press F2... (from menu View.. Object Browser...)

Spelunk... you can limit the OLE server that you are browseing by changing the drop down on the top left from to FPOLECTL for example.

If you click on fpolectl (the class) on the left, you will see all the public methods and properties on the right. If you highlight one of those, you will see some info at the bottom. Depending how much is in the type library.

This is a way that you can find properties and methods for apps to. For example, add a reference to Microsoft Excel, and you can browse the classes, properties and methods in that.

The VS doc have directions for using the Object Browser.
