Hi James,

>So what I'm doing wrong with LockWindowUpdate() is locking the VFP form where I should be locking the activeX object on the form. Yes??

That'd be my guess.

>The ActiveX is TrueDBGrid60 from Apex, and it has a function to return its hWnd, which is very handy. Also, this is a very flexible and robust replacement for the native VFP grid, if you have not looked at it. Version 7.0, just out, is supposed to be even faster in VFP.

Pass LockWindowUpdate() window handle of the control to lock it, and 0 to unlock it. Sounds like it's a neat tool.


>I would like to read your VFUG article. How do I get to it?

Go to www.vfug.org. If you're not a member, you'll have to sign up. That's not a big deal since membership is free. From there you should be able to locate the newletters. As I said, I think it was in last June's issue that I wrote about this.

>Regards, and many thanks for the prompt reply. If you ever go on vacation, I'm dead.

Well, I've been on vacation a couple of times recently and you seemed to survive just fine.< g > Thanks for the compliment though.

Regards,
