String Conversion

[Malachi]

Hi,
I am using VB.6 to access a external piece of equipment using a C DLL.
But I have run into a problem, a lot of the functions require you to pass strings, but you cant seem to pass strings from vb to c without converting them, as they both seem to use different structures.
Does anyone know of a method of doing this in VB?
I found ways on the net for doing it through the DLL, but I am not too confident on my ability to do it without messing up the DLL.
Hope you can help
Thanks
Malachi
