>This makes no sense; why would you declare one of the arguments of type & as "long @" and the other "long"? The odds are that one of the two long declares is completely FUBAR, and either both should be declared LONG, or LONG @ (LONG is ByVal, LONG @ is ByRef)

The tcpHandle needs to be modified by the called program, so I declared it as by reference. maxTime is a parameter that I would typically pass in as a constant.

I have already tried both variables with and without the @; doesn't work either way...
