>If you are referring to an early binding speed gain, then no. VFP is still a late binding client.
VFP7 has added an interface ID parameter to CREATEOBJECTEX() that allows VFP to gain an early bound reference to an object:
x = CREATEOBJECTEX("excel.application","","{000208D5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}")
