Hi Rick -

Can you explain what your suggestions do (not necessarily the updating to Service Pack 3, but the others)? I was looking for info on this several months ago, and couldn't find much involving WP. I also got the impression that people had more success with DDE than using OLE, although I believe the questions involved earlier versions of either VFP or WP. More important, have you had luck doing this (and to Jeremy: did you have any luck with Rick's suggestion?) I still have to do this, but wasn't sure which avenue to pursue. It also wasn't clear to me why one method would be preferable to the other.
