Also of note, the brkcnsct.exe utility assumes that every "program" you write that may fall under this constraint is generated by the window painter, which may not be the case. We have plenty of "non-visual" code that breaks the 64K limit as well, so this may not be the perfect silver bullet in all cases. - Corinne -- Corinne Gregory, Consulting Services Manager ASIX, Inc. 777 108th Ave. NE, Suite 1830, Bellevue WA 98004-5118 corinne.gregory@asix.com
