Hello,

I have a project where I need to make a VB app communicate with a
Visual Fox Pro app. I know there are several methods of doing this:
DDE, Active X, or simply an .ini file. What is the best way to do
this. In other words, what should I investigate?
Thank you,
Brandon

Your magic answer is "it depends". <s>

What needs to be communicated? When? How Often? Is it from one app to the
other, or is it two-way?

If simple startup switches will do, use an INI file. If the communication
needs to be real-time, decide who's the boss and give the other guy an
exposed method as a COM server that accepts parameters while running.
