>>I just got CommTools for VFP and am very disapointed with it so far. First all the code is FoxPro for Windows code, Not the expected Visual FoxPro code and the Author just replies that the examples must remain compatable with all version. So from there I figure I can just work with it and figure it out and then convert it once I understand how it works<vbg>. Well every time I attempt to use it all goes well till I get connected to a remote BBS and get to the first dialog prompt i.e. "Do you want Graphics?". As soon as I type "n" and hit enter Win95 comes up with a page fault error and shuts down VFP. Has anyone gotten CommTools to work with VFP 3.0b??? Does anyone have any better example code that works??? I was scheduled for delivery on Monday, guess that's out the window now, the big question is whether CommTools goes out that window first<vbg>. If someone can confirm that they got it working than it must be my system. Please Help!

Sorry Tom, I never did get it to work. They keep sending me updates but I've never went back to try and get it to work. Did they include a VFP sample with what you received, he sent one to me I could forward if you want it, I never even tested it so I don't know.
I ended up buying another product, "SilverWare Windows Comm Toolkit" and got it working. There PH# is (214)247-0131

Best of luck.
