You could try something like this: A single is 4 bytes long and a string is 10 bytes + the length of it. So using copymemory, would it be possible to do something like this: 'so that when copymemory does its thing, it will be writing to the string, not some other variable: TheString = "xxxx" CopyMemory StrPtr(TheString) + 10, VarPtr(TheSingle), 4 Actually, I think I'm way off track. But its a shot in the dark. And excuse my ignorance, but what is NTP? =)
