OK, thanks Rick. Will look at getting wrapper built.


>Ah yes the good old problem of FoxPro and arrays that won't travel over COM :-) VFP arrays suck - the single worst feature in the FoxPro language.

FoxPro can READ SafeArrays with the help of COMClassInfo but it can't create arrays that travel well over COM. For some reason I thought VFP 9 added some SYS() function that helped with this but I can't seem to find it in the help file now.
