Parity Software Development Corp have produced an ipx/spx messaging system distributed as nethub.ocx. On trying to use it within a Visual Foxpro 5.0 application I found that the function to receive a message (which explicitly required variables for its parameters) failed with the error "Ole error code 0x80020005 Type mismatch"

Parity's technical support responded, "We have had some reports of problems using FoxPro and NetHub but haven't reviewed enough of the details to determine if the problems are isolated to some configurations."

Has anybody else tried this, or got any suggestions as to what might make it work.
