Sorry, I have a few of FarPoint's collection but I don't have the spreadsheet.

My only advice at this point is to call tech support (if you already haven't). I have worked with a few vendors who were willing to work with me in the past on improving their product for VFP. Some don't care because they feel if it works in VB, they don't have to worry.

Good luck!
