LL> Well, there is a book set for the API (Windows API, vols. 1-3, cost
> unknown, probably ~$50). MS press also sells a multi-volume set

LL> As far calling the API from within Paradox, it's fairly easy to do

LL> It's even possible to make API calls that require structures, as

LL> What're looking for? Anything specific?
Nothing but the knowledge of what can be done. Also want can be done
hopefully with both dbase for windows and access.
