String) As Long

kernel32.dll is a desktop DLL. It doesn't exist in CE. Did you do a Google
search on this? I'm certasin there are several places in the archives and
on the web where this is defined.

I think that you want "As Int", not "As Long", right? Long = 64-bit?

YES>...i got it...
but the value i got is based on Bit or what ?

how can I covert that number to MB or Kbyte

thank you

Read the Help. It explicitly says the numbers are bytes. Then it becomes
4th grade math. There are 1024 bytes in 1kb. There are 1024kb in 1 MB
(actually in 1 MiB if you want to be totally correct). Divide the number by
1024*1024 and you get MB.
