Ed,

Can you use alternate AS declarations to handle the differences?

>I agree completely, and more importantly, I may declare the same .DLL in different ways to use it in different situations - the best example of this is my constant redefinition of RtlMoveMemory() to swap different types of data in and out of memvars and static memory blocks that I use to implement structures. If you're making several hundred or thousands of repeated calls to an API function, I start to think in terms of building the block in something other than VFP, since each call has significantly more overhead because of translation between the native binanry formats and VFP memory structures.
