Windows isn't very helpful with its error messages. Or are >you using LoadLibrary to access this new function? It's data not a function. I didn't make that clear. I could still use LoadLibrary to access it but if I did that, I think I'd lose the benefit of the change. I'll check for the actual error message when I finish making the changes. I'm basically moving all of the per_process data into the DLL where, IMO, it has always belonged. cgf
