Hi Michael,

>Of course, the problem with this approach is that I haven't figured out a way to either manipulate a VFP array in VC++ by building it byte-by-byte or returning a structure to VFP that wouldn't incur too much overhead when converting into a VFP array.

Are we talking about VFP 6 here? In this case, insert CHR(13) in the VC++ program after each array element and in VFP use ALINES() to read the entire string into the array. This way, all you have to pass between VC++ and VFP is a string by reference.
