Thanks! It was the Min set to 1,1..I would have guessed the Text.

what is cchar ? From the MSDN entry: ' Trim whitespaces by passing Nothing. Dim trimmedWhiteSpace As String = pathWhitespace.TrimEnd(Nothing) Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you "also I don't think "TranslateOneToTwoBillion OneHundredAndFortySevenMillion FourHundredAndEightyThreeThousand SixHundredAndFortySeven()" is a very good choice for a function name" - SpacixOne ( offering help to someone who really needed it ) ( spaces added for the benefit of people running at < 1280x1024 )

If this is a .net web service there should be a asmx file. So if you know what the url is it should have a file with asmx. If you put that url in the add web service it should fine it. If it does not then I would guess it is either not a .net web service or it is not running. Hope that helps. Ben

You could compile the DLL statically (which might be a problem if the App is linked dynamically), you can ship the offending DLL with your DLL--as long as they're in the same directory in XP, the local DLL will be used. The final option is create an install package. To find out if DLLs are a problem, VC6 comes with an applet called Depends.exe. Use this to find your DLL dependencies and then get the versions of the same DLLs in XP and see if, for example, msvcrt.dll is out of date.

Look at: "Fast memory allocation library for multithreaded applications " http://www.garret.ru/~knizhnik/sal.html[^] 2) I've seen this sort of behaviour on W9x I think where your app has allocated a large chunk of memory and when it shuts down it takes Windows a while to discard it from VM or something like that. You don't see this on NT based versions of Windows. If you are running NT/W2K/WXP and this is happening having a look in Task Manager Performance may shed some light on things.

A common problem with formatting is that the parameters don't match the formatting string, and VC++ doesn't do a check to see if they match. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Since you don't know how the caller is going call your DLL, this is a really bad idea. It's best to return an error code and then let the calling application notify the user.
