DECLARE INTEGER RegEnumValue IN Win32API;

Both of us passed the lpReserved parameter by reference rather than value. Change the declaration and it should work fine.


I only wish it was that nice, but i keep getting SYNTAX ERROR from the Darn thing. I evan copied and pasted into prog but still doesn't work. I'm using foxpro 5.0 will that make a difference?
