Does anyone know of / have experience with libraries or ActiveX controls for
instant messaging?

It appears to me from a brief search that there are several available for
Microsoft IM but I haven't been able to find any or AOL IM.

One ActiveX control I found from LionKnight Software appears to support IM,
File Transfer, or String Transfer. These would all be very useful to me.
Does anyone have any experience with this product. They mention VFP support
explicitly in their website which is always a good thing to see.

Thanks.

Jeff

Jeff,

Microsoft messenger has its own object model, and can be manipulated
with OLE automation.
To create the instance of the messenger, run the following line:
oMsgr = CreateObject("Messenger.UIAutomation")
You could research the object model with IntelliSense or Object Browser.
Some of its methods are: GetContact(), InstantMessage(), SendFile(),
SendMail(), StartVideo(), StartVoice().

HTH,
Alexander
