John,
Unfortunately, no. The ARRAY() function creates a SAFEARRAY. For a defintion of what a SAFEARRAY is, check out this MSDN topic. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/automat/chap7_9ntx.htm

IAC, VFP does not create SAFEARRAYs so you can not assign a VFP array to something that is supposed to be an array property and have it work. If there was a method that took an array as a parameter, it would work because the array would be converted to a SAFEARRAY going through the COM barrier. But that doesn't look like the case here.

AFAIK, unless there is another interface to this property (e.g. method to set it), you won't be able to use this property with VFP.
