How to convert error code to text??For WinSpool.SetPrinter a zero return indicates an error.
SetLastError defaults to True in VB so I can get the errorcode as follows: ErrorCode = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error() The value is 6 but that tells me very little. Where can I find some text to better describe the error?? Thanks >Where can I find some text to better describe the error?? Manually, run "net helpmsg 6" in a console window, or run the VisualC++ error lookup utility (can be installed with VS). Programatically: Dim e As New Win32Exception errmsg = e.Message Mattias -- Mattias Sjögren [MVP] mattias @ mvps.org http://www.msjogren.net/dotnet/ | http://www.dotnetinterop.com Please reply only to the newsgroup. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly
I pasted net helpmsg 6 after the prompt> in the Command Window and hit CR and got: Command "net" is not valid.

as using immed and >cmd and will probably get net to work eventually - but not yet.
