Greetings all.
I am new to Alpha(previously a Foxpro man). This is my first post here. I have to say I am most impressed with Alpha. I have bought all the books available and spent quite a bit of time on this board. What a great community and software platform from what I have seen so far!
Anyway, after gaining a good base of knowledge about Alpha 5 from my readings, I am just about to embark on my first full scale application developed in Alpha5. My question is this - part of my application will catalog photos and documents. I will be using Snagit to acquire images for part of the application. I have just noticed that Snagit has the ability to allow programmatic control of itself by acting as a COM Server. While I basically know what a COM Server is - it is a little out of my league at the moment and was hoping for some guidance from those on this board. My question is:
Can Alpha5 control/talk to a COM Server?
(I searched the board and could not find any previous posts on this subject)
If so, any code samples/guidance would be helpful
Link for Snagit COM Server website:

As a side question, has anyone used the ActiveX control dbpix in Alpha5? I can get the demo to work in Access but not in Alpha5.
Thanks...
Jeff
