Rating: Like Bruce McKinney I did not read the entire book. 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.
