Did you also try to remove the "@" from the actual call? According to the FoxPro help for the error message you listed, this error occurs during the call to the DLL, not the declaration.

>>>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.

>>THe declaration is unaffected by the need to capture a changed value - you use @ in the function call to allow any change to propagate back; declaring it in the DECLARE...DLL has a definite and different effect; LONG passes a 4 byte integer, while long @ passes a pointer to what is presumed to be a 4 byte integer. See CLSHEAP to see examples of where to use each.
