Well i have tried everything(and accidenetally discovered how u could make internal errors wich is by having a message box come up then have an "exit;") but i can not get this code to stop crashing the app it loads it
basically this is what happens
the createfilemapping function goes thru with no problem then the mapviewoffile(or map file to memory in stringtables) and writes a value to one of the mapped memory addresses but then when it comes to cleaning up and unmapping the file it just ends no error or anything just a crash and it does not give me a chance to handle the error
but anyway here is the source to the function(btw source to dll is free and open)

btw this is C source not C++ but it should handle the same

edit:

stringtable

Ah, ignore my post in your DBPro thread.

Did you check out the DBPro code that I posted there though? That shows you exactly how to do this.

Anyway:
- All of your HWND should be HANDLE. You are doing nothing with windows or gadgets in this code.
- Your code will never open an existing mapping. If CreateFileMapping fails, you need to fall back on OpenFileMapping
- You are using the wrong file I/O. You need to use the CreateFile command instead of fopen

hmmm ok
probably should have read this post before i posted in the other
is there any difference between hwnd and handle though
why wont it open a filemapping
ok i was hoping to avoid that but anyway(fopen is the easy way)

ok thanks for the help guess now its time to change code
