>Hi all-

>We have an app which uses a general field to store a sketch file (embedded), . We would like to switch over to using an ActiveX control now available for the application in the general field (a sketch program which produces .axf files). From all I've read, the general field is one way - once a file is in there, there is no other access save via the field. However, the ActiveX control has a method (LoadDataHandle(hData:HGlobal)), which, if passed the memory address of the file, may be able to allow access to it. Is it possible to get that address somehow?

Not directly; there's no AddressOf operator like VB has. It'd be possible to write something in C as an FLL that could possibly access this information using the VFP APIs in the FLL and publish the address to an app after locking a memory region, but it's non-trivial.
