Is it possible to get the file handle of a file opened by VB under Win32?
 I'd like to use FlushFileBuffers, which needs the file handle.

Help says FileAttr will return the handle, but only in Win16:

 FileAttr(filenumber, returntype)

 filenumber     Required; Integer. Any valid file number.

 returntype     Required; Integer. Number indicating the type of information to
  return. Specify 1 to return a value indicating the file mode. On 16-bit
  systems only, specify 2 to retrieve an operating system file handle.
  ** Returntype 2 is not supported in 32-bit systems and causes an error. **

Thanks,
J. Bodie

Generally speaking, the file API functions only work on files opened by the
CreateFile or OpenFile API functions.  Those two functions return the required
file handle.
