Thanks for the info.. Just for clarification, is this an IA Issue or a microsoft bug?

The value of the variable that I'm assigning the result to doesn't change after it's been called. Here's my CallDLL Functio...

Is there a way to default the selection of Remove in the Maintenence Dialog? I've tried the obvious ways of making sure that the remove check box is checked, but it doesn't seem to be working.
