How long is the string equivalent of an Integer value? How long is the string equivalent of a Long value? I'm assuming that the szDescription and szSystemStatus values would simply be regular strings with lengths of 256 and 128 respectively. Can anyone help me out with this?

John,
From windows SDK aspect an integer and long are both 32 bits signed values (4 bytes). However if your structure is from VBA then VBA uses integer for short ( 16 bits - 2 bytes) and long for integer (32 bits - 4 bytes).
I'd simply set both as 4 bytes and check results.
