I've been set the task of designing a VB(6) piece of code that fools the event log into thinking it has recieved genuine events.

I can submit all the known fields identically using the API, but when i look at the details in the event viewer, the descriptive text always says something along these lines:

'The description for Event ID ( 16 ) in Source ( mnmsrvc ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): NetMeeting RDS Service Start'

when it should say:

'NetMeeting RDS Service Start'

How can i fool it?? I would be most greatfull for any help.
