Be very careful when using this function declaration since you don't know whether you're calling the ASCII or Unicode
version of the call (it depends what compile flags were set when the DLL was built..) To be on the safe side it's best
to explicitly call the ASCII version of the call (or Unicode if you require wide string support), grab the function
declaration from my prior post if you need it. The two versions of the call are dealt with differently from VB which is
why you need to know which version you're calling.

Have a look at the comments in Ray's code on the subject:
