Hi, Dale,

Please drive carefully (when you ride pointers they may lead you to mighty crashs).

So, here is my suggestion based on your info

DECLARE INTEGER GlobalAlloc IN WIN32API INTEGER nFlags, INTEGER nSize
DECLARE INTEGER GlobalFree IN WIN32API INTEGER nHandle

lnHandle = GlobalAlloc(0,32000)
IF lnHandle!=0
   ...
   GlobalFree(lnHandle)
ELSE
   WAIT WINDOW "Out of memory!"
ENDIF

>I am trying to call a DLL from VFP7 and the whitepaper docs specify that I need to have a workspace allocated. They have a sample of VB code and it uses a function called GLOBALALLOC(), but I don't know how to do this in VFP. Does anyone have an idea or where I might look for help on this?

>If you need I can post the sample VB code on the site and it might help. The docs also say I must pass the workspace created (around 32000 bytes) as a pointer to the workspace. I have no clue how I might go about that either.

bye
