>Dear Ed Rauh,

Nope, it's still there - Basic Serial Communication with MSCOMM by Matt Grajoweer demonstrates the use of the MSCOMM32.OCX control in a VFP program; you can also find documentation from Microsoft in the MSDN documentation or in their MSDN Online service under the topic MSComm control. The Visual Studio includes the file COMM98.CHM, which is the help file from the general MSDN documentation. The examples there are in VB, but are easy enough to translate into VFP with just a little effort, using Matt's program as a guideline.

>Can you tell the other site, that i can find it or email to me.

I've pointed to the file on UT above - just click on the highlighted area. The MSDN docs can be found on CD in Visual Studio, or as a part of the MSDN documentation, or accessed from MSDN Online (The MSDN Home Page is the base page for MSDN; you can search for MSCOMM from this page to find it.)

>I haven't use ActiveX (link function) before. please give me more datail about the when the user click on the "Dail" button.

Chapter 16 of the Visual Foxpro Developer's Guide discusses ActiveX controls in detail.

Again, you can also find ActiveX controls that might do what you need at Component Source, a Web-based software vendor that specializes in developer add-ons for a number of languages, including VFP. I suggested finding a TAPI control; you can search for an appropriate product on their site, and in many cases, they'll have a demo or evaluation copy that you can download to see if it does what you need done. Component Source is a very knowledgable vendor; they can generally tell you if a product is VFP compatible, and make that information available in the fact sheet accompanying the product description at their Web site.

You also might look at Hallogram's Web site. Hallogram is a vendor that specializes in VFP add-ons; they advertise here on UT, and are members of the UT Partner Program, and are reachable from links here on UT.

Beyond that, I can't be of much more assistance; I don't have code that I can give you to do this. Perhaps you should look into hiring a consultant if you find the documentation on the MSCOMM control inadequate to get you started, and don't want to purchase a different add-on that's designed to do what you need to do.
