Mark,
If you use GetObject in VB you are using the same implementation. GetObject (script, VB, VFP) are all implementations of the WinAPI CoGetObject function. It is only VFP 6's (and below) lack of support for the IMoniker interface that is causing you problems. VB/WSH's implementation doesn't suffer from this. And it was "corrected" in VFP 7. Is upgrading not an option?
