The documentation for GetFieldProps indicates I can get the type of the field
from the second parameter (pClass [out] A pointer to a TypeDef token that
represents the type of the field.) Unfortunately, it appears that it is
returning the type of the class in which the field is defined. Is there a
way to get the type of a field using the unmanaged API?

thanks - Jim

The field type is returned as part of the signature, in ppvSigBlob.
