Posted this two weeks ago but got little response...anyone got any ideas???

I am using an ActiveX control, as supplied by the manufacturer, to access data in their accounting product.

Despite the fact they don't officially support its use with VFP (tested with VB, VC++ and Delphi only) they say it should work okay.

And it did until I hit a property on the data object with type of "Small Integer". At this point VFP simply returns data type unknown and blows. Properties with data types recognised by VFP are fine.

Am I stuck or is there any way I can wrap this up into some sort of data conversion, in VFP, that is!?
