Joshua,

I use a 3rd party DLL that someone wrote in Power Basic. I was unable to get to the DLL from VFP, because of the way the Power Basic DLL handles strings. So I had to create a workaround. I created a COM object (DLL) wrapper in VB that performs all the calls into the Power Basic DLL.

From VFP I make calls into my VB wrapper. I know it's another layer, but it is the only way I could get it to work.
