  StrPtr() call? You're just saying that its unfortunate that VB doesn't 
have any civilized programming constructs aren't you? I have to admit 
that I have learned about three VB functions I had never heard of during 
the last few weeks. VB Help is of limited usefulness in finding things 
like that, unless I am also doing that incorrectly.

  I did make the change to wchar*. I'll try that too.

  I have made the change. I'll try it in a few minutes.

  I probably fat-fingered something.
