How would I start using the library in that case?
GetProcAddress? Anyway, as soon as I call FreeLibrary(handle) in the Unload...Do I need to tell you? :)

No I don't cause, *poof* and there goes another instance of vfp7.exe! My eventlog has trouble keeping up with this rate.

I can reprocedure the problem on Win2K, so it's not just WinXP either....

On the other hand, I have trouble establishing whether I still have local variables, as soon as I skid past the last ENDIF (see code in previous message) both the lnArcHandle and lnResult are gone. My debugger 'speaks' of only one object remaining and that's my form....

So I have one question in particular. Neil suggested to check compatiblity with VFP, how can I check this?
Also if an OCX doesn't work (I tried it) what's left then??

Anyway, weekend is dawning on this side of the planet. I'm off to some R&R and report back after the weekend.....either that or shoot myself in the head :) :) :)

If you have working examples of code, please send it to me...
