= SUMMARY =

The Microsoft Access data-definition language (DDL) dynamic-link library (DLL) provides data-definition support beyond that provided by Microsoft Access. The Access Basic programmer can use the data-definition language DLL to create, alter, and use tables, fields, indexes, and relationships.

DDL100.EXE, a self-extracting file, is available in the Microsoft Software Library (MSL) on the following services:


 * CompuServe GO MSL Search for DDL100.EXE Display results and download
 * Microsoft Download Service (MSDL) Dial (206) 936-6735 to connect to MSDL Download DDL100.EXE
 * Internet (anonymous FTP) ftp ftp.microsoft.com Change to the softlib/mslfiles directory Get DDL100.EXE

= MORE INFORMATION =

The DDL100.EXE file contains the following files:

MSADDL11.DLL Windows .DLL file containing the DDL functions MSA_DDL.H Header file for writing C clients to MSA DDL MSA_DDL.TXT Access Basic include file TEST_DDL.MDB Access Basic test program MSA_DDL.LIB For linking C clients in the MSA DDL DLL file README.TXT Information file MSADDL11.TXT Documentation for using MSADDL11.DLL

This utility is provided specifically as an aid to developers who need additional DDL capability. As with any DLL, passing an incorrect argument type or value could result in general protection (GP) fault errors. If this happens, check your arguments carefully. This utility contains an include file (MSA_DDL.TXT) that you can use to declare these functions. This utility is not supported by Microsoft. Make sure to save your work-in- progress frequently to avoid potential data loss.
