Christof,

May I ask you one more question?

I made a small app that sends those messages (using this routine). Why some users don't get an error but the messages they send doesn't arrive to the destination?

Regards,

Fernando

UPDATED (08.13.04): Never mind, just figured out what happened. In the line:

  lnHandle = FCreate("\\"+m.tcTarget+"\MailSlot\Messngr")

The variable tcTarget had blanks at right, when I alltrimed them it worked ok. What puzzles me is when I was sending from my PC it worked, from many other users it didn't. The only explanation I found (guessed) is that I'm running Win XP and the other Win2K. Who knows...

Have a nice week end!

Fernando

>Yes, when you call one of the VFP functions, VFP itself calls these API functions. However, because VFP uses different flags that do not work with mailslots on Windows 9x, I use the API functions here. On a Windows NT based system, you can use VFP functions alternatively:
