This is probably something simple.
I'm trying to get the current time in EPOC time, which is, I believe,
also called time_t in C.  I think the GETLOCALTIME API call will do

We have a VB program which runs for a long time (weeks) the memory keeps
growing until the point where the program crashes. If we minimized the
program a lot of the memory is reclaimed. I am trying to do the same using
the SetProcessWorkingSetSize API call. When I try to use it ...

I would like to include mdac_type.exe with my installation files and
then coax the P&D wizard to run the file on any target machine a program
is installed on. Is this possible?

I'd appreciate some perspective on this from those of you who have experience using the SHGetFolderPath API. I read in previous posts here in this group about the SHGetFolderPath and CSIDL values. I read on MSDN where Microsoft recomends it's use. And a quick trip over to VBnet ...
