Larry,

The AS clause in variable declaration is used by Intellisense and COM classes and is ignored by VFP. Declaring variables PUBLIC or LOCAL also make them of logical type regardless of AS clause. You can assigning an integer value to make them Integer/Long.

STORE 0 TO TopLeftX, TopLeftY, BottomRightX, BottomRightY

>I am trying to get a Visual Basic Active X to work in Foxpro. I do not know VB very well. The Command I am trying to get to work is as follows in VB:

>    Dim TopLeftX As Long
>    Dim TopLeftY As Long
>    Dim BottomRightX As Long
>    Dim BottomRightY As Long
>    Dim PageNo As Integer
>    Dim strBarcode As String
>
>    strBarcode = SoftekBarcode1.GetBarString(i)
>    PageNo = SoftekBarcode1.GetBarStringPos(1, TopLeftX, TopLeftY, BottomRightX,        BottomRightY)
>
>My implementation in VFP (I have tried several variations) is as follows:
>
>PUBLIC TopLeftX, TopLeftY, BottomRightX, BottomRightY as Long
>
>
>lcPage = thisform.OLEreader.GetBarStringPos (1, TopLeftX, TopLeftY, BottomRightX, BottomRightY)
