Hiya, What app shows this? Can I get hold of it - I should be able to knock something up for it as a test regardless, but it might not be til mid next week. Jason

It's a VB6 application of our own description. I have not had a chance to hack the source code to see where it comes into play, but probably something to do with a third party DLL we use for remote database connectivity. Thanks for the offer of a fix. I was hoping there was a generic fault, and somebody might have a generic fix. Since it seems to be more indepth, I will try any get an exact location of location of failure first. Ben

Even though I now implemented VarOr, I guess you might want to be careful about that and use a native oleaut32 instead, since oleaut32 contains tons of variant calculation functions (mul, add, and, xor, various conversions, div, round), so if there's *any* bug in there affecting some function your program uses, boom goes your data eventually. That's why I'd use native oleaut32 for production use. OTOH I'm still waiting for some builtin oleaut32 test reports ;)

There's a significant number of Var* routines not implemented. I implemented the missing ones for a VB6 app I had written, but each app executes different ones, so there's still quite a few missing. If you try the patch already submitted, see if you get further and potentially hit other missing functions. Most of the missing fn's are not too bad to implement, so keep reporting them Jason
