ActiveX and FileMaker

[corwin]

I have ActiveX components from 3rd party which I want to use in FileMaker.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks

I use Visual Basic to create an .exe to do whatever the components do and then call a script in FM to take over again. I have trouble though in changing the VB script to do the same in FM7, can't find the info I need and know nothing much of VB.

You can use an ActiveX control with VBScript, which doesn't need to be compiled. The advantage over a compiled program is you can generate the VBScript on-the-fly based on values from FileMaker fields.
