Sorry for the late reply :-)

You didn't post the initialization part and the typedef for each variable ( iFormat, OutputFileNameFront, etc... )

I see Borislav has given you a reply, does it works or not ?
Here is another workaround. Run the code exactly like it, see whether it blows up your apps or not

Declare Long RtlMoveMemory in Kernel32 as Copy2Mem ;
   Long pDest, String @cSource, Long nLength

Declare Long LocalAlloc in Kernel32 Long uFlags, Long dwBytes
Declare Long LocalFree in Kernel32 Long hMem

Declare Integer BUICScan in BUICAP32.DLL ;
   Integer iJobType, ;
   Long lpFront, Long lpLenFront, ;
   Long lpBack, Long lpLenBack, ;
   Long lpCode, Long lpLenCode

iFormat        = 1   && get FrontFilename only
pFrontFileName = LocalAlloc( 64, 256 )
pFrontSize     = LocalAlloc( 64, 256)
pBackFileName  = LocalAlloc( 64, 256 )
pBackSize      = LocalAlloc( 64, 256 )
pCode          = LocalAlloc( 64, 256 )
pCodeSize      = LocalAlloc( 64, 256 )

cFrontFileName = 'FrontOut.TIF'
Copy2Mem( pFrontFileName, cFrontFileName, len( cFrontFileName ))
Copy2Mem( pFrontSize, Num2DWord(len( cFrontFileName )), 4 )

? BUICScan( iFormat, pFrontFileName, pFrontSize, ;
   pBackFileName, pBackSize, pCode, pCodeSize )

LocalFree( pFrontFileName )
LocalFree( pFrontSize )
LocalFree( pBackFileName )
LocalFree( pBackSize )
LocalFree( pCode )
LocalFree( pCodeSize )


Function Num2DWord( tn_Num )
   Local lc_0, lc_1, lc_2, lc_3

   If (tn_Num < 0)
      ** Transform SDWord into DWord
      ** Works for VFP6 and later
      tn_Num = val(transform( 0x100000000 + tn_Num, '@0' ))
   endif

   lc_3 = chr(int( tn_Num / 0x1000000 ))
   tn_Num = mod( tn_Num, 0x1000000 )

   lc_2 = chr(int( tn_Num / 0x10000 ))
   tn_Num = mod( tn_Num, 0x10000 )

   lc_1 = chr(int( tn_Num / 0x100 ))
   lc_0 = chr(mod( tn_Num, 0x100 ))
   endif

   Return lc_0 + lc_1 + lc_2 + lc_3
