Hi,

I feel it is like a quizz...

Dim keyvalue as string ( quit normal)

keyvalue="00000" ( init for starting )

works but is it right ?

Regards

Please note that under the terms of the PowerTREE license, PowerTREE code may not be posted publically, so the code in your first message was removed. Where possible, please use pseudocode instead. Thanks!

The PowerTREE enquiry functions are declared to expect BYVAL STRING parameters, so using dynamic strings is by far the easiest way to use the library. However, using BYCOPY with an ASCIIZ will also work fine for all <U>enquiry</U> functions, for example (FindFirst, FindNext, etc):

CALL PowerTREEFunction(BYCOPY keyvalue, ...)
...or
CALL PowerTREEFunction(keyvalue + "", ...)
...or
CALL PowerTREEFunction((keyvalue), ...)

However, you cannot use these techniques the 'Return Key' function, since it must return a string to the calling code... in this case you must use a proper dynamic string variable.

If you have further problems that cannot be explained using pseudocode, please contact Tech Support rather than posting the code here.

Thanks!
