Convert from Access 2 to Acess 2000 - DLL

[NaoTriste]

As part of a conversion from Access 2 to Access 2000 I had to change references to DLL functions, mainly user.dll & kernel.dll by suffixing those function names with "32" and replacing both the dlls with the equivalent 32 bit ones, i.e. "user32.dll" & "kernel32.dll" .

However I am still getting errors as follows:

..can't find DLL entry point getprivateprofilestring32 in kernel32
AND
..can't find DLL entry point getWindowsDirectory32 in kernel32

I have tried to use the function names without the "32" suffix to no avail.
If there was a list of entries contained in the "kernel32" i could at list check what is or not there, instead of doing it by trial & error.

......so much for the quick conversion estimated.....

*** ANY CLUES ? ***

So you have to 'upsize' your API calls. Check AllAPI and Google Groups for your equivalent functions:

http://www.mentalis.org/apilist/apilist.php

(an example of what to search for)

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...ctory+api&meta=group=comp.databases.ms-access

I don't even know what "getprivateprofilestring()" does, so you'll have to explain what it does, unless you can find the equivalent function without help.

Thanks very much to "foolio12" for the tips. The first link was all I needed. Once I get the list of APIS it was easy.
