This is a VB way to automatically include an active X/COM component in the project. As long as the component is registered on the client machine (many ways to do this, including the VFP Setup Wizard) you will be fine in VFP. In VB, this approach allows for early binding...

You can use an Outlook application's VB editor, I think, if you don't have VB. Unfortunately, I don't know a straightforward way in VFP to look under the hood of such a component.

Hmmmm... okay, maybe you found a way that I wasn't aware of!

>>>>>Declare PllrApi as an object in your VB code

This is optional, and just a way to create a high-level object reference so that you don't have to create an instance every time you want to use it. Not a bad idea in VFP either.... If your application object is named goApp, you might have the following code in the App startup routine:
goApp.Pllr = createobject("pllrSrvrLib.PllrApi")



Hope this helps...
