Hi -

If I want to develop a routine and call the routine from a FPW 2.6 application,
what would be the best way to do it?

I am not very familiar with VB. Do I need to make a exe file in VB and then
call it from the FPW app or do I make it as a COM or a DLL and then call ????
Do I use the 'Load' function and then 'Call' the routine...?

Thanks in advance,,,

This is a "it depends" answer. VB can create a number of different kinds of files. However the biggest problem is that it's likely you'll be using a 32-bit version of VB (3.0 -> 6.0) and FPW is just a 16-bit (Win 3.x) app. FPW can have a lot of problems interfacing with non-"thunked" non-WinAPI calls.

If you're using VB, why not upgrade to Visual FoxPro?

If you must use FPW, go to http://west-wind.com/wwfp2pd.htm and get CALL32.
