    CreateFile API function

    Did Anybody use API function CreateFile in VB ?
    I have problem with SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES parameter. I don't know what send in this function instead of that structure.

    fHandle = CreateFile( FileName, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, ByVal CLng(0), OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, 0)

    Like this don't work, return fHandle = -1
    Please help with example.

    I pass null with "ByVal 0&".

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    You could even avoid having to include that in your declaration by passing the argument as "Any" rather than "SECURITY_ATTRIBUTE"
