Use the mciSendString function.

Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As Any, ByVal uReturnLength As Long, ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long
                                       
Private Sub cmdRecord_Click()
 
    mciSendString "open new type waveaudio Alias record", 0&, 0, 0
    mciSendString "record record", 0&, 0, 0
    
End Sub
 
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
 
    mciSendString "stop record", 0&, 0, 0
    mciSendString "save record C:\Windows\Desktop\MyWav.wav", 0&, 0, 0
    mciSendString "close record", 0&, 0, 0
                                       
End Sub
