IanS, the address i am reading contain the data i am after, i know this because all the other address the program reads contain the correct values however those values are long variables so i can read them, however this address is a string and i cant seem to read it due to an error in my coding.

i tried a string convert in the function (ie convert the function return before it was returned) but that didnt work, maybe the code i used was wrong, any code anyone can suggest would be welcomed
