George, I think you may be a bit too paranoid about making calls to the API. The whole idea of Win 3.1 is that it's not supposed to break 3.0 apps. I'd say that pretty much anything you'd call wouldn't be changed in 3.1. In fact, the only thing that you should do is check the return values of the API functions that you call because in 3.1 this will be more important, but you should be doing this anyway. You might want to pick up the Sept. 1991 issue of the Microsoft Systems Journal which discusses the new things in Win 3.1. Probably TrueType (scaleable fonts) will be the only thing that would affect a VB programmer that I can think of. – Ted There are 2 Replies.
