Error calling API function

[ByzantianX]

I'm using Access 2.0 and whenever I try to call API function
GetVolumeInformation I'm getting message "error loading DLL".There was no error in declaring or passing the parameters for the function, that very same function works within Access 2000 or Visual Basic6. Is there any idea what might be wrong?

Are you trying to reference the GetVolumeInfo from "Kernel32" as in :

Declare Function GetVolumeInformation Lib "kernel32"...

?

It may well be that if you are....Acc2.0 cannot handle the 32bit API call being that it is a 16bit app.

Just a thought...I may be wrong though...never tried it mayself!

Well, yes, I supposed so to... I put:
Declare Function GetVolumeInformation Lib &quot;Kernel&quot; and then I got the message &quot;Sub or Function not defined&quot;...Like John Travolta said in &quot;Swordfish&quot;:&quot;Life is stranger than fiction, sometimes&quot;

Use &quot;Kernel32&quot;.

Of course, I did it, but then I got a message &quot;Error loading DLL&quot;...No help, I guess

Is the DLL registered?

Click <Start>, <Run> aand enter:

regsvr32.exe &quot;c:\windows\system\DLLFILE.dll&quot; and click <OK>

Subsitute the path and file name of the DLL in question! birklea ~©¿©~ <><

Well, I suppose Kernel32.dll must be registered
