I still get the "Not licenced for use" error under runtime. The problem is as developers, a licence in stalled with VFP for blanket use of the control on your own development machine. So we have to subclass the control onto a form before it works on a non-dev machine. My gripe here is I can only find a way to make this work on an SCX based form and not a PRG based form. Which, BTW, makes ZERO sense to me.

>>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!
