Sergey,
I put the @ in the call to the procedure and in the DLL call per George Tasker's post and it works. Now I just have to get the floating point stuff.
Thanks again,
John.


>>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"
>>I tried moving the DECLARE to the top of the program so it would only be called once but still go the same thing. I also took the AS RtlCopyNum out completly and changed the name in the funciton but I still get the same thing.

>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
