Most of the ActiveX controls I see available on the Internet seem intended
for Visual Basic. Maybe someone can enlighten me ... are all or most of such
controls supposed to work with Visual dBase 7.01? I've had mixed success,
finding that some things work and some don't. Life must be simpler (in this
area) for Visual Basic programmers.

I've had mixed results as well.  While "must be simpler (in this area)
for Visual Basic programmers" they must put up with using VB. <g>
Most of the worthwhile ActiveX controls cost almost as much as VdB.

Good question Bradner! I've been searching for a couple of month but I
found nothing but a simple controls, databased controls for VdB 7 is not in
market. A simple combobox multicolumn, as Sheridan controls, does not
function in VdB but in VB.

I cannot understand this. I have made activeX controls myself in C++ and
interfaced with dBASE v7 and it works just fine. It has to be anActiveX
control though. Why should anything work with visual basic and not dbase?
The functionality shouldbe the same ifthe control follow the ActiveX
standard...
