Yes - you do it it every time you access hardware; for example, reading or writing a file passes through the VxD to get from the OS to the underlying piece of hardware. There are also publsihed mechanisms for accessing functions in a VxD through things like the DeviceIOControl API call, or using things in the DDK. In general, it's not trivial to do directly in VFP.
