Hi!

>OK. This is going to sound like an odd one, but I have a situation where we have some FoxPro 2.6 screens still being used in our VFP 6 application. We have many forms that use ActiveX controls.

It's like none of it's events are firing. You can click on it, but nothing happens. It behaves as if you never clicked on it.

I guess this is because old events loop for old forms do not support the ActiveX controls. ActiveX can work only with new common VFP events loop by READ EVENTS command (I meant Windows events handling loop).

>For business purposes, it isnt' feasible to convert these FoxPro 2.6 screens to VFP forms. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any ideas? Anything?

Why it is not feasible? I know very little of problems when converting 1 to 1.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
