>>I have just done a fresh complete install of windows 2000. I installed pdqcom32.ocx using regsrv32, My code when compiled works fine and reads the serial port. When I try to open the form in VFP I get the message Class is not licensed. I searched on msdn but did not find anything.Anyone have any ideas ?

>Not positive on this one, but after registering the control manually, did you go into Tools/Options/Controls in VFP and make sure the control was in the list and checked? I've seen VFP do some "funny" things in this regard.

Yes the control is listed and selected. I read somewhere (maybe MSDN) that when you install a cotrol it puts one entry in the registry for use as a run time and one for the use in development, I guess what I am trtying to do is force the entry for development which does not appear to be working the way I am doing it.
