Hi,

Thank for your advise. However, I don't had access to the last few
issues of Foxtalk, can you kindly attach it for me to access
and with any example if possible.

For the VB wrapper, do you had any example for reference.

Thank

There is an excellent set of articles by Andrew Ross McNeill about many ActiveX Controls, their usability with VFP and code samples.
