>I am trying to call a DLL from VFP7 and the whitepaper docs specify that I need to have a workspace allocated. They have a sample of VB code and it uses a function called GLOBALALLOC(), but I don't know how to do this in VFP. Does anyone have an idea or where I might look for help on this?

Dale,
Download Ed Rauh's CLSHEAP class from the Dwonload section. It has functionality that gives you the ability to allocate heaps of memory (GlobalAlloc is slower than the corresponding Heap function so it should be used - recommeded in MSDN documentation).

With CLSHEAP, you can specify the size of the block of memory you need and it will return an address (in character format) that you can pass to the DLL.

HTH.
