Hi Ed and all,

Progress. I have a errormsg returned: can't find the .dft in the specified path.

Spoke to Tech Support. He states that the params lcPath etc. must be prefexed with the object name like: oHPA32N.Path = 'D:\HPA'. But if I create the parms before the CreatObj statement oHPA32N.Path the object is not found and if I create them after then the @oHPA32N.Path in the creatobj statement causes an error.

VFP is not letting me describe a variable with the object name before defining the object or not letting me use the variable prefixed with the object name because it's not yet defined. Catch 22? How to get around?

In VB He:

Dim ABC As HPA32N.DLLClass
Set ABC= HPA32N.DLLClass
ABC.HPAPath = TXT_HPAPath && where I guess he storeed the path

Regards,

Paige
