Hi All,

I am trying to use the Datalogic formula.ocx to interface to a Datalogic Formula 725 Barcode scanner. We can successfully communicate with this scanner via Formula.OCX using VB 6.0, however using VFP6.0 SP3 I am having problems.

In VFP I have a simple form with an ActiveX control based on this OCX. We can successfully retrieve data from the scanner but are unable to write to the scanner as the properties & methods that I have used to do this under VB are not visible in Visual Foxpro.

The VB statement to write to the scanner that works is:

lnresult = frmMain.Formula1.Satellites(101).DataWrite(Val(lcScannerID), lcPrompt)

If I run the following code in VFP

lnResult = thisform.Formula1.Satellites(101).DataWrite(Val(lcScannerID), lcPrompt)

I get the following error message

"member Satellites does not evaluate to an object"

If I inspect thisform.formula1.Satellites in the debugger its type is listed as Object but there is no + sign next to it to inspect its properties.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be most gratefully accepted,

TIA

Andy
