MSDN Online can help you find the answers to these kinds of things: ReadProcessMemory.

I'll show you HOW to get an example of this.... I do this about 5 times a day:

Start here:  http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en

In "All Words" put ReadProcessMemory
In "Exact Phrase" put "Visual Basic" and click Search.

Go through the results one-by-one until something looks good.  Here's one:

thanks alot my methods for searching are shit compared to yours !

i get  error 242 and object required everytime i compile :-S

this is my code
Private Sub Command3_Click()
ReadProcessMemory Game.exe, &H4312B25, B, Len(B), lBytesRead


End Sub

You need to get a HANDLE to the process, such as with OpenProcess.  GetWindowThreadProcessId and FindWindow might be useful to get a process id (unless you are using CreateProcess to start the program yourself).

Hmm, he didn't even look at the example:

Dim hwnd As Long
Dim pid As Long
Dim pHandle As Long
Dim lBytesRead As Long
Const PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS = &H1F0FFF
Dim B As Long

hwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "legend of mir2")
 If (hwnd = 0) Then
     MsgBox "Window not found!"
     Exit Sub
 End If
GetWindowThreadProcessId hwnd, pid
pHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, False, pid)
 If (pHandle = 0) Then
     MsgBox "Couldn't get a process handle!"
     Exit Sub
 End If
ReadProcessMemory pHandle, CLng("&02501BD3"), B, Len(B), lBytesRead
Label2.Caption = B
CloseHandle hProcess

no its just i thought the handle was game.exe
