DAQ Buffer... What to pass to the "d as Any" parameter in DAQ_Start

Question

"While trying to run DAQ_Start(...), I am crashing due to memory access violation. The only thing I can provide so far for this parameter was a Long I declared that stored the reference returned from GlobalAlloc (WinAPI call) passed to DAQ_Start in place of the "d as Any" parameter. The documentation claims that it expects an array of integers though in the provided DLL for my hardware the function has a different parameter type. Am I passing the wrong thing and if so, what do I pass to this function for this parameter?"

Well thats straight out of the documentation, which I already knew, but thanks anyway... I found the solution.
Visual basic wants an address of the memory location. Since VB handles most things as ptrs without you knowing and thus to pass an array you would usaully pass byref. However, based on the type expected this would not work. I was trying other ways to simply pass the address of my array (reference) however they never worked. Finally I was racking my brain for other ways to pass something by reference and recalled that iun C/C++ I could pass the first element. I never imagined this would work VB, but it did. After further investigation, I realized that passing arrays to DLLs when using VB is special and you have to treat the function
as though it were C.
