    You have to Declare the functions in the DLL you want to use. I think there's a tutorial on www.vbapi.com

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    This way:

    Code:
    (Public or Private) Declare (Sub or Function) SubOrFunctionName Lib "thedll.dll" (Alias "AliasName") (param1 As Something, param2 As Something, ...) (As Something)
    Most of the time there is an alias, but sometimes not. You must have the alias name correct if there is one.

    Actually, most DLL functions are ok as they are. It's just because people don't seem to be able to manage using things like SendMessageA (for ANSI) as opposed to the nice simple SendMessage (used in the C headers for ANSI or Unicode) in the Windows API.
