Re: How to call .dll functions ?

Gill,

Rundll32.exe will only run those dll's (actually "cpl's")
which are specifically coded to interface with it.

There is no easy way to call standard dll's without
resorting to a language which has a dll-calling capability,
like vb, vba, c, cpp, and many others (but not vbs).

Those actX objects I was referring to are all coded in
some other language.

Rather than resort to using an unreliable and untrustworthy
third-party actX object to call api's, it may just be simpler
to re-code your script in another scripting language that DOES
support api calls. Here are two (both free, at least for now):

AutoIt3: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/
FBSL: http://www.fbsl.net/phpbb2/index.php
o'Basic http://obasic.com/

O.K., that was more than two, call me generous.

cheers, jw
