I have a VB 6.0 application that I am using to monitor UPload and Download stats via the IP Helper API. Everything is working ok until the Byte count goes over 2.147 Billion which I belive is the limitation of Long Datatype. I have looked into reseting the Counter through the API but it does not look like I can.

My question is :

1. Is there any DataType in VB that will hold a number larger then 2,147,483,647

or

2. Is there a way to reset the TCP statistics without disabling the NIC and enabling again.

Any help is appreciated.

You may be able to find a custom numeric class that will allow you to store larger values.

Cant you just truncate the byte count or convert it into kb when it reaches a certain limit
