Hi Terry --

>I find it necessary for now to attempt to call VB Objects. I'm working with some VB / Access/ Some_SQL Engine guys; to retrieve info through their objects.

You should be able to call anythign created in VB as long as it has been saved as a DLL or OCX (the VB stuff) so that VFP can CREATEOBJECT the control.

>How can I call VB object with VFP? I've considerd "running" an ODBC VB stored procedure? Can VFP run VB stored procedures and can the stored procedures reference a VB object and give me back some data? (Maybe I should ask if VB can store a procedure in ODBC?).

VFP can run SQL Server stored provedures via SQLEXEC()

>Is COM or activeX the only alternatve?

ActiveX and COM and pretty much the only alternatives when accessing VB-created stuff.
