Thanks for answer. I now understand that a long in previous VB versions is now an integer in VB.Net and already did know that strings were ANSI vs Unicode also. I'm still a bit confused as to how to pass arrays from vb.net to standard DLL's and how to declare them in both the declare statement for the standard dll function and how to delcare them in the calling function.
