Any material or reference sites will be much appreciated.
I am relatively new to programming.Is there much work involved.can anyone help me with any information.

There are several things that you need to be aware of but they are only pertinent if you are converting modules. Other than that, what type of information are you getting as you perform the conversion?

I do have a number of modules that need converting. At the moment i'm getting a message saying that their are a number of 16 bit dynamic link librairies in modules in this database. Then i get the message that there were compilation errors but it does save it in a compiled state.

Do you have any more info you can give me? Thanks again for your help.

Regards
James
 
You have to convert all 16 bit api calls to 32 bits, the Access conversion tool won't do it for you.
When API calls take a Type as an argument these type definitions have to be checked too.

For a lot of api declarations you can visit:
When all API's are done it will compile again.
