>>>I have created a Visual FoxPro DLL which I use in Visual Basic. However, from Visual Basic, I can have access to that DLL, which is a form, when I move the mouse over the it. I can access the properties and methods but I can't have Visual FoxPro respond to a mouse. I guess what I have defined is an OLE server which can't respond to a user interface. How can I define a DLL which can respond to a user interface?

To be able to interact with the form you need to build an Out of Process OLE server. If you just want the form to display something you can build an In Process OLE server.
To build an Out of Process OLE server choose "Build Executable" from the VFP project "Build Options" Dialog. To build an In Process OLE server choose "Build OLE DLL" from the VFP project "Build Options" Dialog.

See the article http://www.eu.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/vftechinfo/custole.htm for a discussion of building custom OLE servers in VFP.
