Doing a .VFP. mtdll, at least in ActiveVFP, means doing little or no programming in VBScript. All of the native VFP language is used including DBFs. So, you definitely wouldn't need ODBC to connect to .VFP. tables. Check out ActiveVFP in the downloads section.

I have tried making a simple MTDLL and interacting with it via VBscripts, but at this stage I'm not getting anywhere. While I've read the VFP Help sections on COM and making MTDLLS, I don't understand any of the details, and can't find any specifics in the VFP Help system. I've recreated some of the examples, but they work from within VFP....it seems that what I'm looking for is how to get enhanced functionalities from VFP-created utilities but do it from an ASP page, a VBScript, or whatever.
