>My question is I've been told using the OnComm event to respond to events is not reliable in VFP but I've been doing it successfully for some time now. I thought VFP didn't raise ActiveX events. Am I mistaken. If not why is this working?

Hi Todd-

VFP COM servers cannot raise events. That doesn't mean that you can't see events fired from ActiveX controls. This works fine.

I don't know if or why the MSCOMM's OnComm event is unreliable, but it has nothing to do with VFP raising events.
