>In the interim I have created a VB OCX that wraps around the API command and slots into Fox... It would be nice to be able to do it in pure fox though... to date I've found that there is very little that Fox *cannot* do.

I see that your question has already been answered, and it's pretty much the same as I'd suggest. Yes, it can be done, but in the end it's easier to use something other than Fox to wrap it, IMO.
