Could VFP be case sensitive when searching for methods? Pay attention
to the case of method and property names below and duplicate them in
your code to test this theory. This is my dump of the
Scripting.Dictionary object's capabilities:
Output from CreateObject scripting.dictionary:
dispinterface IDictionary Member count 10
sub Add(pointer to Variant Key, pointer to Variant Item)
Add a new key and item to the dictionary.
Read/WriteProperty CompareMode as CompareMethod
ReadProperty Count as I4
function Exists(pointer to Variant Key) as Bool
Determine if a given key is in the dictionary.
Read/Write/SetProperty Item(pointer to Variant Key) as Variant
Set or get the item for a given key
function Items as Variant
WriteProperty Key(pointer to Variant Key) as pointer to Variant
Change a key to a different key.
function Keys as Variant
sub Remove(pointer to Variant Key)
Remove a given key from the dictionary.
sub RemoveAll
enum CompareMethod Member count 3
const Read/WriteProperty BinaryCompare = 0 as Int
const Read/WriteProperty DatabaseCompare = 2 as Int
const Read/WriteProperty TextCompare = 1 as Int

Hi all,
For those of you who understand the really low-level way in which
things work, I wonder if you could guess at a problem I'm having (I'm
just curious as to why, not that I expect anyone to solve it).
At work I sometimes program in visual foxpro; an interpreted macro
language, much like VBScript. I frequently use activeX objects in
these programs.
Recently, because I've learned about the scripting object
scripting.dictionary from my work with Window-eyes, I tried to use this
object in VFP programs. While it executes the CreateObject() just
fine, whenever I try to use any of the methods or properties of the
scripting.dictionary object I get an error from VFP that the property
or method can't be found.
Just wondering if there are different low-level standards for
interfacing with COM objects, and does the scripting.dictionary object
require a specific one (which VFP might not support)?
Thanks for any clues here.
Chip
