Thanks for the reference, Sergey. If the control was built using the MFC, I am stuck, since I can't change it. Do you think it may be possible to use some sort of C++ program to pass things back and forth here? Do you or anybody already have such code?

Thanks,

Alex

Other calls that required numeric parameters did OK, so I suspect the variant. I thought all VFP variables were variants in this context. Any suggestions?
