Wait, GetDocumentProperty is not a VBA native function. It must be a function of the program you are automating. In any case, I don't suppose it matters a whole lot if you receive the value into a VFP variable, it won't know the difference.

If you get a numeric and need a character type, just do the conversion in VFP.
