While there are a few gotchas about it, VFPCOM can do a great job of handling events in the Office (or any COM) servers. It comes with the amazing ExportEvents method. Not only does it extract the available event names/parameters from the server, it also writes a skeleton VFP class definition to get you started! No poking around in the Object Browser or trying to find some other obscure reference--just ask it for the events from your server, and it readies the code! Cool Stuff.
