David,

Try this:

* Create a template file in the Windows ShellNew sub-directory
lcfile = GETENV('WINDIR') + "\ShellNew\mdac.udl"
lnhandle = FCREATE(lcfile)
= FCLOSE(lnhandle)
SET CLASSLIB TO Registry.vcx ADDITIVE
oReg = CREATEOBJECT('Registry')
RELEASE CLASSLIB Registry
* Open and, if necessary, create the appropriate registry key
oReg.OpenKey(".udl\ShellNew", , .T.)
* Set the filename value to the template file
oReg.SetKeyValue("FileName", JUSTFNAME(lcfile))
* Close the key.
oReg.CloseKey()

It assumes that the registry class of the FFC is on the Fox path or is the current directory.
