Working with PawCom V260 in VFP7

[andypolymath]

Good morning. I am relatively new at Visual FoxPro and would appreciate any help with this issue. One of our clients wants to extract accounting information from Peachtree Complete Accounting, modify it in Visual FoxPro, and import it back into PT. PawCom provides a com interface to the PT data and since our company owns a copy I was leaning towards a solution using PawCom.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how to access the PawCom.dll. Do I need to create a PawCom class that incorporates the PawCom functions I want to call? If so what is the proper syntax and how do I activate PawCom.dll? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, Andy

You should be able to create an object based on the classes in the DLL and then use the properties and mthods of that object. I'm doing something similar with Sage accounts based on an interface in TE.DLL:

loSIheader = Createobject("TE.SIheader")
With loSIheader
  .Account_Ref = Thisform.txtCustomerCode.Value
  .Invoice_Type_Code = 2
  .SI_Name = Thisform.txtCustomerName.Value
   
  .SIitems.Add ( ;
    IN_SERVICECODE, ;
    ThisForm.txtheader.Value, ;
    ThisForm.edtItemDescription.Value, ;
    "", ;
    "", ;
    "")
EndWith

Thanks Geoff. I'll try creating a PawCom object and see what I can accomplish from there.
