Unlike Bruce I was very worried by the sample chapter.

The author is making a song and dance about GetWindowText moving the location of a String

<blockquote>

cTitle = GetWindowText(hnd, sText, 255)

sText = Left$(sText, cTitle)

</blockquote>

- when it is the Left$ reassignment that is moving the StrPtr

This is such a fundamental error, from which he draws such wide inferences, that it amazes me that the chapter has not been radically revised.
