>>>I would make sure that you use the code as shown; if something is issuing a CLEAR DLLS or something similar, or redeclaring the API call somewhere else after where you thought you'd already declared it, you might be getting hurt by side-effects. It's safest to issue the DECLARE...DLL in the function that uses it.

that did the trick. Thanks.
