I was wondering what is wrong with my macro... the assembler keep giving me an error. hope there is someone out there that would help me on it. Thanks
ErrorMessage macro
DWORD lpmsg;string pointer
call GetLastError
mov ecx,eax
invoke FormatMessage, FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER or FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM, NULL, eax, LANG_NEUTRAL,ADDR lpmsg,0,NULL
invoke MessageBox, NULL, lpmsg, 0, MB_OK
ErrorMessage endmMild critique:
It is not good to place DWORDs in the middle of the instruction stream. We have to tell MASM that the DWORD goes in the un-initialized data section, and we only need one DWORD for all the times this macros will be put in the code. Replace with the following:

Why did you write a macro for this? That is the question you should be asking yourself.
