Frank,

If you are just using the visual ActiveX to put code in the events of it, it is not necessary, you can implement its interface methods in a FoxPro prg class and then in your form you instantiate this class in code. You can even kick start the process by opening the ActiveX control with FoxPro's Object Explorer (in the tools menu), expand the tree to see the "Interfaces" branch, expand it, found the interface you want to interact to, open an (empty) program (modify command [enter]) and then drag the interface into the prg editor. This will write all the events of the ActiveX and then you just need to put your code in it
