Thanks for your feedback Duncan.

That is the same DEVMODE structure that I'm using (Windows 2000).

When you total up the size of its elements (4 bytes for long, etc)
it comes out very close to the 174 that the len function returns.

eg Private dm as DEVMODE
Print len( dm ) =>174

So I still can't understand why the adwData points to a structure that is
1172 bytes. I must be missing something obvious.

Cheers

Tim
