Where can I learn API calls 1

[nagyf]

Gentle List Members,
Where can I learn API calls from Visual Basic and Access?
What should I read?

My special problem: I want to read a value from the registry. I have a rather cumbersome solution.
1) Import the registry chapter in a tex file.
2) Attach the text file to Access or read this text file as
a sequential file.

Why I need that? I want to know from which workstation was the Access database started.

Regards
Ferenc Nagy

If you have Visual Studio then go to the Tools and select API text viewer. Then load the WIN32API text file and it will then give you a list of all the API functions at your disposal.

Another good tool is called AllAPI. It will give you the code to use for every API in VB and C++.

How can I get hold of AllAPI.

Go to

At the bottom of the page click on Download It Now.
Enjoy

I would download both the Guide and API Viewer 3.88mb.

I have found the API viewer on my machine. I have found the MSDN help. I made a procedure. It died with drwatson. Finally I have found an example in the Viusal Studio.
I have replaced the registry key names in the example. It worked.
Thankx
