Hi Ed,
Ok, How do I set up the ActiveX server? This is where I am currently stuck.

>You need to make a connection to the ActiveX server; in VFP this is done via CREATEOBJ(). Your server is registered with a ProgID; you instantiate it in your VFP app, regardless of the type of server (in or out of process) by doing a CREATEOBJ() referencing the ProgID. If the server were registered on your system with the ProgID MyApp.MyActiveXServer, you'd:
>
>oMyServer = CREATEOBJ('MyApp.MyActiveXServer')
>
>If the server is not running, it will cause the system (either on your local machine or on a remote system if it's a remote out of process server and has been set up properly) to start an instance of the server. You then access the server's methods and properties just like any other VFP object, for example:
>
>cMyString = oMyServer.SomeServerProperty
>
>or
>
>lResult = oMyServer.DoWhatIWant('Some String parameter',42)
