Microsoft Access version 1.1

SUMMARY

The Microsoft Access Data Definition Language (DDL) dynamic-link library (DLL) provides data definition support beyond that provided by Microsoft Access. The DDL enables the Access Basic programmer to create and alter tables, fields, indexes, and relationships, and then use those tables in Microsoft Access and Access Basic.

This utility is provided as an aid to developers who need additional data definition support beyond that provided in the Microsoft Access documentation. As with any DLL, passing an incorrect argument type or value could result in general protection (GP) fault errors. If this happens, carefully check your arguments. This utility includes 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 loss of data.
