I set TALK off and then rebuilt the DLL. The DLL is setting up the path and app dir correctly (I think). When I run that SQL statement nothing is placed in my array for return. The array is set up in a GUI with COMARRAY(object,11). When I execute the code as VFP (non-COM) the array is populated and returned. The array is passed by reference. Any ideas. Or is it that the SQL statement is considered to be producing output and therefore not allowed?
