You're right, of course, and this is what I do. In fact, I prefer ActiveX controls, but dlls are ok, too.
In the same time, the problem is "cute" and sometimes it's just easier to use a VFP solution than to write a dll. The client may also require that all the code must be VFP (because the programmers that will maintain the code don't know C/C++). Another reason: not all VFP programmers can write a C/C++ dll and a solution like Cristof's class or my Pointers may help them cope without C/C++.
