Anton,
This is an indirect answer, since I'm not using a nil. I don't use the
SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, ahhh, attribute, so it probably looks for all the world
like a nil. But I set it up as legit as I can:
type SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES
nLength as integer
lpSecurityDescriptor as integer
bInheritHandle as integer
end type
Then have a variable of that type passed to the API. Ok? No?
