As I said yesterday, YOU CANNOT INSTANTIATE LICENSED ACTIVEX CONTROL FROM VFP AT RUN-TIME, BECAUSE ADDOBJECT, NEWOBJECT, CREATEOBJECT, ETC. REQUIRED DESIGN-TIME LICENSE AND VFP CANNOT PASS THIS LICENSE AT RUN-TIME!!! IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO REWRITE APPLICATION IN VB, WHERE THIS IS POSSIBLE, YOUR ONLY ONE SOLUTION IS TO CREATE VCX WITH WINSOCK CONTROL AND INSTANTIATE THIS VCX!!!
