Hi

All I need to be able to do is use the VFP API from within C. Since I am not adding functionality to VFP I do not need an FLL. I am using VFP functionality from within another application. I have toyed with the idea of using COM but I was not quite able to make all of it work so I thought it might be simpler just to call functions that reside in the VFP runtime dll. In VFP you can use the Declare statement to access such things as the Windows API so I thought perhaps I could reverse the process and access the VFP runtime from outside.
