VB/WinAPI, Call 16bit ODBC API from VB5 32bit

Call 16bit ODBC API from VB5 32bit

Author	Message
Lance Thompso #1 / 2	Call 16bit ODBC API from VB5 32bit For reasons that would take to long to explain, I need to right a 32bit VB app that can connect to a 16bit ODBC datasource. I have written the API code using ODBC.DLL (it works great with ODBC32.DLL), but when I run the VB App I get an error message that says it cant find ODBC.DLL. The DLL exists in the correct path so I dont think it's really not found, I think this is a general 'cant load the DLL message'. So, does anyone know if you can call 16bit DLL functions from VB5 32bit? And how? Thanks, Lance Thompson
