========================================================================= It is difficult to say but I do know that often the answer to a question is within the information that you already know. i.e. what success or failure are you having at this juncture? Have you had any results or just an inabuility to establish/create the connection to the desired thread? You have the correct .DLL files but for linking purposes you may need the object files associated with them...do you have access to these or do you get any messages that might indicate this? What other (if any) messages do you receive? etc., etc., etc.... John W. Borelli IT Specialist Hawkeye Security borelli35

=============================================================== Post the main module if you can. It looks like you have declared these data types or dereferenced them when it wasn't necessary but honestly I couldn't say for sure without looking at the code. John W.
