>>this really should be recast explicitly if you're passing it as an INTEGER using BITOR(); VFP handles this as a positive value, while the API type INTEGER or LONG is actually a signed 32-bit integer, so that 0x80000000 is the maximum possible integer positive value. You can accomplish this by wrapping the INTEGER expression with
BITOR(0,your potentially integer value) as follows:
>>
>>nMyIntegerArg =
BITOR(INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD + INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE

Yes, the way integers are usually stored, 0x7...FF would be the maximum positive value, and -0x8...00 would be the maximum negative value, for integers of any size.
