in reply to Value Sought from Subroutine Argument?

Have you tried assigning the result of GetDWORDValue() to $dwValue? I don't use the Win32 namespace, but that would be something I'd try.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

    Dear Dragonchild,

    If by "result" you mean the value returned, that won't do. The sub returns a 0 for success and an error code for failure.

    Thanks JTS,
