Matt, it looks like with your tip, I got it going. I knew MSCOMCTL.ocx was on the computer I was testing on (Win7 64bit), but I decided to try to ty to re-register it manually just to make sure. Ran CMD as Admin and it dropped me into C:\Windows\System and without thinking I ran REGSVR32 MSCOMCTL.ocx and it failed. Re-reading your message I switched to C:\Windows\SysWow32, ran REGSVR32 again and this time the command worked. When back into VFP and ran the GOFISH.APP and it worked perfectly.
I don't know why the reinstallation of the VB6 Common tools didn't also re-register the .ocx, but manually doing it from the SysWow32 folder took care of the problem. Thanks for the tip as I didn't know what OLE library I was supposed to focus on! Paul H.
