>I have heard a nasty rumor from hallogram pubs that VFP doesnt really work that well with OCX's. Does anyone have any insight on this. I was under the impression that we could use them with relative ease. :/

Visual FoxPro 3.0b is not fully compliant with a few OCXs but in general you're able to make it work. For example, the Universal Thread is using a SMTP & POP OCXs to distribute 100000 messages a week. It also use a socket OCX for the upcoming Universal Thread for Windows '95 & NT interface. I also use ProEssential OCX which is a very good OCX for graphic, etc.

But, Visual FoxPro 5 will be fully compliant with all kind of OCXs.
