Have you looked at good 'ol MSCOMM? It works reasonably well, integrates well with VFP and (I think) supports most standard file transfer protocols.

>I've been looking at various communications libraries/activeX objects and it seems like everyone here mentions CommTools. I downloaded the documentation and samples (from www.sofdesign.com) and it only mentions VFP versions 3.0, 5.0, and 5.0a. Is it only the documentation that needs to be updated?
>While I'm asking, is this the best solution for doing Zmodem transfers from a BBS in VFP? I'm very hesitant to ask the boss to spend $300 on something that doesn't have a downloadable demo version. I've been testing Commx but, like anything not specifically written for Fox (it seems), none of the events ever fire.
>Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
