Re: msaccess.exe API calls: where to get the function call description

MSAccess was not created with the notion that its functions would be
called in the method you are suggesting. Many Windows functions are.
This is because Windows is an OS. Applications do their things by
calling OS functions, a basic understanding of programming that many or
most discussions, classes and textbooks ignore.
To use MSAccess functions one would have to find an entry point. And
then one would have to find some documentation for parameters, types
and return values. TTBOMK this documentation is not public. Its
possible that parameters would be of such types that they could not be
emulated in VBA. And its possible that misuse of these functions could
result in massive damage to one's database and perhaps many of the
programs on the machine where the attempt is made.
The task you are describing is most unusual and difficult. If it were
attempted by an eperienced and resourceful programmer of VBA and C+ it
would be challenging. You will know if it's appropriate for you, but
one guess that since you are not familiar with the fundamentals of
using the Windows API, it is not.
If you are a genius, I suggest you work your way through your problem
and astound us with your solution. If not, I suggest you content
yourself with simple questions such as, "How can I write a value to
the Registry?"
