vb 6.0 kill process error in code
Hi, I got an error on the commented line (on the Left$ function)..says something about declaration/type does not match the type defined. Please help.

th32DefaultHeapID As Long
th32ModuleID As Long

here's the exact error:
Type-declaration character does not match declared data type.

added vba. before the left and works now
Yes, sounds like you might have declared Left somewhere else in your program.
