>I'm having a problem with this particular function in crystal reports. Whenever I try to use it from VFP (via a DECLARE) I get the "this program has performed an...blah blah blah" error box and VFP crashes. In the crystal reports documentation this function is defined as:
>****************
>BOOL CRPE_API PEGetSelectionFormula (
> short printJob,
> handle FAR *texthandle,
> short FAR *textlength ) ;
>****************
>
>My declare statements is :
>****************
>DECLARE PEGetSelectionFormula IN CRPE32.DLL ;
> short printjobs, integer texthandle, short textlength
>****************
>
>Finally, the code that is crashing is:
>****************
>lnTextHandle = 0
>lnTextLength = 0
>=PEGetSelectionFormula( lhPrintJob, @lnTextHandle, @lnTextLength )
>****************
>
>Is this not the correct way to pass FAR pointers or something?

PARAMETERS tnTextHandle, tnTextLength
LOCAL lnJobHandle, lnStatus

lnStatus = THIS.GetJobHandle( lnJobHandle)
IF lnStatus > 0
RETURN lnStatus
ENDIF

DECLARE INTEGER PEGetSelectionFormula IN crpe32.dll INTEGER, LONG @, INTEGER @

lnStatus = PEGetSelectionFormula( lnJobHandle, tnTextHandle, tnTextLength)

IF lnStatus = 0
THIS.GetErrorText()
lnStatus = _CrystalError
ELSE
lnStatus = 0
ENDIF

RETURN lnStatus

The above code is how we access the function - we have UDFparms set to reference.
