>I took a look at this site but couldn't find "Geppetto's Hammer". I'm real interested in seeing what this AcitveX control has to offer. If you have time could you give me some help finding this control? Also, I have another very basic question. While searching through the activeX site I saw several controls that looked interesting. Do all activeX controls work with VFP or are some of them proprietary to a specific development package? Thanks again for your time!

Hmmm....you're right, it's not there anymore. Oh well, there are tons of other controls at activex.com that have the same functionality: Check out the tools listed under Application Development.

In theory, all ActiveX controls work with VFP. In practice, some do and some don't. All I can tell you is to download and install them; then go to VFP, subclass the control in a classlib, create a form and try out the control. I'd say from personal experience that about 80-90% of the controls will work.
