API Calls In Windows2000 Server

[TURNERMICH]

I have written a program in (VB6).using a large number of Windows API calls. ie. Findwindow, SendMessage etc.....

Under Win98 all ok............

When i run on Windows2000 Server. No go@#!#!#@@#$
Error '6' Overflow messages etc.
I suspect this is due to different DLL's etc,in 2000 server.

Would appreciate someone giving some general comment on this area.

Turnermich -

Go through the definitions of all the API functions you're calling in the MSDN library -- you'll notice at the bottom a list of which versions of Windows it's supported on.

Another way to do this is to write a quick & dirty program that has all the Declare statements in it, and you simply call them one after another writing success/failure messages to the NT event log (App.Logevent) so you can see which one(s) fail.
