DIM Statement EG Dim Test1% ,How to Alter

[TURNERMICH]

I am using some code i downloaded and have it all working fine under Windows98.
Most of the code is API Based, Window Handles etc.
Under Windows98 all handles are eg 1162 2345 etc

Under Windows2000 Server they are 131234 121555 etc

Existing Code eg
Dim Test1%
Will not work..

=========================================
If i alter it to Dim Test1 as Long
and take the % out everywhere in the procedure.

Under Windows2000Server it then works.
=========================================
There is a lot of code.

Is there any simple way of altering all the code to work under Win2000Server, without altering the % all through the code.

Have you tried executing on Win '98 with LONG? I may be crazy but I thought all Win32 handles were 4 bytes long (Long) even if Win98 might only use values 0-65535.

In Win98 Dim Test1%, Works.
If i leave as Dim Test1% it does not work in Win2000Server
If i alter to Long, For Win2000Server, all ok.!!

I understand that but have you tried
Dim Test as Long
on Win 98. It should work because Wun 98 is a 32-bit OS.

The Dim Test% is the same as Dim test As Integer.
