>thanks for the help but I can't get the Intiger function to run. I took out the double AS AS but I still get the error "Declare DLL caused an exception"

Sorry about "AS AS". Here's correct code and example on how to use it.

* Create an integer with value 5
lcInteger = CHR(5) + CHR(0) + CHR(0) + CHR(0)
* Convert it
? Long2Num(lcInteger)

* Convert Long integer into VFP numeric variable
FUNCTION Long2Num(tcLong)
DECLARE RtlMoveMemory IN WIN32API AS RtlCopyNum ;
	Long @Dest, String @Source, Long Length
LOCAL lnNum
lnNum = 0
= RtlCopyNum(@lnNum, tcLong, 4)
RETURN lnNum

>I haven't tried the 64 bit floating point but what would I do to convert it to 32 bit? Or should I ask Dragan?

I guess.
