Hello FB People, First, thanks to Chris and Rick, you both nailed that problem down for me. Now, continuing along in my saga, I have a function in Pascal that returns a ComponentInstance (which in Pascal is a pointer to a record containing an array of one long). The function is OpenDefaultComponent, and I have converted it to FB using the converter. In pascal the declaration is: FUNCTION OpenDefaultComponent(componentType: OSType; componentSubType: OSType): ComponentInstance; I need to know: what_should_this_be_here = OpenDefaultComponent(_"nota", 0) Cheers, Robert Price Programmer/Technical Support support@...
