Thanks.

... while retrieving the "extension"
is not needed because VB5 only creates
.exe or .dll or. ocx extensions,
isn't it ?
Please confirm this,
otherwise I would need to retrieve
the app extension too. 

----
To retrieve the app name
I was using Apis such as
  GetWindowThreadProcessId
  CreateToolhelpSnapshot
but this second API gave me problem with NT system
because on the NT, the Kernell.dll file 
seems not being present...
Or I was missing something?
----
I want to retrieve my app size because
I decided to implement an anticracking protection.
So I thought to perform this steps:
1 - to compress&encript it, 
2 - so if a cracker want to tease it,
3 - he is compelled to deflate it 
     and the size will be different and I stop executing the app,
4 - and if he should try to compress&encript it,
      the size will presumably be different 
      and I stop executing the app
Is it a bad idea?
Any anti-cracking suggestion 
is very very very appreciated...
