I did need to add a main prg to hold the READ EVENTS for the exe to work stand alone outside of VFP IDE. And it would not work at all on a machine without the Bloomberg license. Kept trying to connect.

Bill,

That's great news - glad to hear of your success! So to get information from Bloomberg, are you just making method calls passing the ticker symbol? I remember hearing of a Bloomberg API where you're using FTP to make rate requests and then retrieving a text file from their FTP site when they process the request. I'm hoping this control acts a little differently?

As for the license, will this work on a machine that has Open Bloomberg or is a different license required?

If you're willing, I would be interested in looking at your project code to see how easy/difficult the control is to use (yes, you can remove the control from your form so as not to legally freak out anyone).

Laterness,
Jon
