>Thanks George. This one works and now mine too. The missing piece was lcBuffer, BUFLEN (mistakenly set less than needed). One more question. Where is the list of parameter types ? (I mean integer, short, string etc and not LPTSTR, LPDWORD etc).

The references are C/C++ and Windows conventions (declarations such as hWnd). Unfortunately, I don't know of any list per se. Since we're working from different references, (you from Win32api.hlp and me from Win32.hlp), I don't know that your declarations are the same as mine. Mine have comments in them that pretty much make it pretty clear what's what. For example, here's the actual C++ declaration of the above:

BOOL GetFileVersionInfo(
  LPTSTR lptstrFilename, // pointer to filename string
  DWORD  dwHandle, // ignored
  DWORD  dwLen, // size of buffer
  LPVOID lpData // pointer to buffer to receive file-version info.
  );

From the above, it's pretty easy to determine what each of the parameters is.

Other than this, if you see the letters LP as a prefix, it stands for "Long Pointer" and the parameter should be passed by reference. DWORDs and LONGs are integer are integers, WORDs are short integers. Since VFP does have a declaration type that exactly matches BOOL, I use a SHORT (it's a convention I use) to indicate that it's a Boolean value. The return value will be zero if the function fails.

hth,
