>>>Well, that's ok if you have the time to waste. I've found that some shareware can be very good, but other times it can be lacking. I prefer the support of a solid company and a product that's been tested with MY environment. Most shareware controls have been created by VB people with VB in mind, and never tested in VFP.

>Well, I did say 'controls'. We are talking about ActiveX controls here. JKey is a FoxPro specific thing...of course it works with FoxPro! But have you seen a VFP specific control for working with PKZip compatible zip files? Just go to ActiveX.com, or anywhere you can find ActiveX controls in shareware, and try a few out. Or for that matter, even commercial controls. They are not always compatible. It's getting better lately, but it's still not 100% yet.

Dana,
I am sorry.. I mistook your last message.. I however, would look at the freeware stuff, since there are a few out there.. Heck, can you NOT use the pkzip version out for windows?? Or do you have to use their library??

I would NOT look at foxsqz becuase of earlier points I made (need pkzip compatability, or else you have the VHS-Beta thing in software too..)..

Thanx!
