>>>Thanks Sergey and George. I'll give the resolution in #Q192693 a try and see if that will meet my requirements. Seems like this could have been resolved when VFP7 was released since it was a known problem (but not to me) in VFP6. If not in 7, at least with SP1!

Sergey,

Actually, I first found out about this problem not through the KB article, but rather an "Ask Dr. Gui" in the MSDN news. In that particular case, as I recall, the control involved was the mscomm32.ocx and the development environment was C++. The same things that applied there, apply here.
