VB does use references and that enables you to dim an object and then use Intellisense when using it in code. The reference has nothing to do with Declare.

If you don't have to declare the function in VB (i.e. it is a COM object) then you don't have to use declare in VFP. Just use CreateObject() or NewObject() and it will work. We are talking about COM here, not a library DLL.
