Kevin,

In order to use VFP Component Object Model (or any other Component Object Model)in VB the corresponding type library should be added to the project through Project/References menu option (find it in the list and put the checkmark next to it) so it will be available in your VB project.

Then you can instantiate it for example from VB form something like this:

Early binding:

Option Explicit
Dim oTest As myVFPdll.myVFPclass

Late binding:

Option Explicit
Dim oTest As Object
Set oTest = New myVFPclass

There is a lot of info on the subject in MSDN Library, for example the following links in will tell you the difference between early and late binding.
