Integartion of a Foxpro 2.6 for windows application with a COM dll

Is it possibe to integrate a Foxpro 2.6 for windows application with a COM
dll. I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Joyce.

Since VFP can handle Fox 2.6 tables safely, would it be an
option to build the COM DLL in VFP and let the legacy app
do its own stuff separately?

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the reply. Well the COM DLL cannot be built in VFP as it is being
used in an enterprise application. If built in VFP it could have a negative
effect on other applications. So this option is not possible.

Regards,
Joyce.

Interesting. What would those side-effects possibly be?

Hi Joyce,

As Anders pointed out, VFP works just fine in enterprise applications :-)
However, the only "automation" approach with Fox2.6 is DDE, as far
as I know.
If you want to write the COM server in another language, I think it might
still make sense not to integrate Fox2.x via DDE but to have a third project,
a VFP COM server, to be integrated with the first one, and let the legacy
app untouched. Just my 2 cents
