Erin,

ActiveX/COM object can be in the form of DLL and you access them the same way. You either drop it on the form or instantiate using CREATEOBJECT() function and than access it properties and methods.

>The developer of the DLL supplied a Visual Basic example of how to access the DLL but it looks like the FoxPro equivalent to accessing an ActiveX Control (.ocx) file by creating an object, then calling the object's methods.
