>Just a quick question for those of us who are Internet challenged. In VFP 6.0 SP3 we have the _VFP.ThreadID property. Do you have any idea why this value doesn't match that which GetCurrentThread() returns. GetCurrentThreadID() returns the same value, but as I understand it, GetCurrentThread() returns a pseudo-handle to the thread. I guess what I'm asking is why would the pseudo-handle work where the real one wouldn't?

The Thread ID is kind of like the ProcessID - it's something you can use to
retrieve a real handle to the thread. The ID is something you'll see in
a debugger and something you can store with your application. The handle
is the actual physical aspect that controls the thread or process.

IDs are sequentially numbered and easy to read. Handles are large numbers
that the system generates uniquely.

Standard Windows API fare I guess...
