Jack, What are the ActiveX controls? These may have dependencies which are missing, or no longer support the calls. Dependency Walker 2.0 is a great tool for viewing if these dependencies are missing. Some warnings can easily be ignored though. VFP 3 and 6 applications work on Windows 7 32 bit easily. VFP 3 do need the XP SP 2 compatibility. The VFP 6 ones did not need a compatibility setting.
