I made these little changes and a brief (though not scientific) test showed the form.

>This is maintenance work on a VFP7 app. I know all about having to subclass an OCX like MSComm32 onto a form to avoid the "Class not licensed" error [the class IS registered, that is NOT the problem]. If I drop this OCX on a form and run the form it works under runtime on a non-developer machine. What aggravates the hell out of me is it won't work if the form is PRG based. For example, is there any way to make this work:

public loform
SET TALK OFF
SET EXCLUSIVE off
SET MULTILOCKS on
SET DELETED on
SET CENTURY on

loForm = CREATEOBJECT("LineDisplay")
loform.ADDOBJECT('oComm','oleCommControl','MSCOMMLib.MSComm.1')
loForm.Show(1)

DEFINE CLASS LineDisplay AS Form
   DataSession = 2
   PROTECTED PROCEDURE Init
   ENDPROC
   PROCEDURE Release
      RELEASE THIS
   ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE

DEFINE CLASS oleCommControl AS olecontrol
ENDDEFINE

>Trying with the AddObject() and commenting out the ADD OBJECT will not work either. By making this work, I mean on a non-developer machine under runtime. My preference is getting this to work in a PRG class instead of an SCX, but I will quit fighting this if the SCX is the only way to go. TIA!
