First of all let me shout:

IBM MQSERIES NOT M$ MQ

Now I've got that point clear I'll continue...

I am trying to start a Channel using MQI (API) commands in VB based on the pcfsamp sample supplied with MQSeries.

The target MQManager is not running so an error ought to occur...

But it doesn't.

Errors are being written to the MQSeries Error Log but not being returned from the API.

WHY?
