Hi!

I just curious, what the problem with transform? I know there is a bug with this function when converting numbers like '0.0024' using mask '999,999.999999'. However, I never seen or found in newsgropups that transform() function causes crash. Can you post reproducable sample of this behavior? Maybe it could be solved by another way. I did made a background service application that works with MS Word OLE object, outlook to send mail (or SMTP), a lot of data processing and automatic report generation in Word etc., but it works ok without crashes across weeks. I will be glad to share my experiense in this topic, so you will not need to try workaround the C0000005 crash (I don't remember someone tried this).

>>It is called 'Callback function' and you cannot do this in VFP directly. You can make this only using custom ActiveX written on C++ or Delphi or other language that does this job for VFP application or with use VFPCOM.DLL bind VFP code to some event of other COM/ActiveX object that will fire event when callback function called.
