Can someone with winapi experience look at this code and see why it gets errors?

to soja-

thanks for the reply soja. the explanation does make sense but i regret that i am at a loss how to do what you suggested. where would the bank be created at and when/where would it be filled and how would i access the bank to display the array of strings? i am simply trying to get it to list each of the running processes (like in the windows taskbar). this has been an incredible headache. i guess i am learning from it! i thought that perhaps there was a blitz bug or something preventing this code from working, but it just might be what you are saying. i hope you don't mind replying to this again! i have noticed that you have helped many others with code problems. thanks again!

best,
mike
