Ok, lets cut through some FUD. Yes you can reference the assembly by its strong name. Strong-named assemblies consist of the assembly's identity: 1.- The simple text name of the assembly. 2.- The version number of the assembly. 3.- The culture information, if it is provided (optional). 4.- A public key for the client. 5.- A digital signature. So were there multiple versions in your GAC? I am guessing that your attempting to use one from VFP and the other is rearing it's ugly self? It's not working properly and the whole process is hitting the bit bucket? But then I really don't remember what your issue was in the beginning. So what I have said may have no real value? Sorry.
