You're rigth, dwFillAttribute is not meant for passing values between
programs, but tell the programers. The've coded like this, not my fault,
it's not a console program either. What happens to the file: it contents
some values that I need in the second program. I'll see if i can get the
code.
Let's freeze this topic.
Thanks
