Hi List, I have compiled a mbx which has function calls to certain windows system DLLs. These calls are to the "GetUserNameA" function in the "advapi32.dll" and the "GetComputerNameA" function in the "kernel32" library. Compiled in MapBasic 4.5 and running in the MapInfo 4.5 to 5.0 environments, these calls work. However running in the MapInfo 5.5 environment these calls chop the computer and user names down to 7 characters. Is there a problem and fix for the way MI 5.5 handles some DLLs, or am I the only one with these problems.
