Hi Bob,

There's another option. You can write wrapper DLL for that ActiveX in VB and use it in VFP.

>I'm struggling with a project where I need to use some special ActiveX controls in VFP, it appears I can get no support from the provider of the ActiveX control for VFP, and my attempts at guessing how to use the controls are not working too fast. I can get some results but the actual fomrat of parameters to be passed is difficult to figure out.
