>>I have been using the Lotus Orgainizer 97 API in FoxPro with much success until recently. There is Organizer API function that returns a pointer (integer) to a memory location. Another Organizer API function is to be used to copy the memory at that pointer to a buffer. Unfortanately, I cannot get the VFP to recognize the API function. It gives me an error to the effect saying it cannot find the entry point in the DLL.

>>How do I DECLARE an API function in VFP to mimick the Declare Sub in Visual Basic? If this is not posible, is there a Windows API to do a memcpy? This API function would have to except an integer addrress as the source and character string as the destination. I tried using the Win32API function lstrcpyn with no success. It did not give me an error, but the destination string contained garbage.

Does this work if there are chr(0)s in the memory to be copied?
