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
  >   through retail book stores, with each volume running ~30-40 each.
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.
