No, both INTEGER and LONG in Win32 are the same, including the order of the bytes.

You're referring to the structure I assume. Well, I've worked in VB, and if you'll post the VB structure declaration, I can probably show you how to convert it to VFP. This assumes that it can be converted, however. Certain structure members are difficult, if not impossible, to be properly converted in VFP.
