There is no AddressOf in Access 97.

However, MichKa and Ken Getz found a work-round. See

Thanks Doug,

I've implemented AddrOf() function (from xls example) , function itself
works fine but , now i have following problem :

Following expresion don't seem to be legal in Access 97 :
hThread = CreateThread(ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&, AddrOf("MyFunc"), ByVal 0&,
ByVal 0&, hThreadID)

So I am using this :

hThread = CreateThread(0,0, AddrOf("MyFunc"),0, 0, hThreadID)

But when I execute code access crashes after returning from CreateThread
function.

What to do ?? How to achive my goal?

Please advise.

Thanks a lot!
Domac

What are you trying to accomplish? I don't understand the advantage of
trying to introduce multi-threading into Access (much less into such an old
version of Access) since you may not be able to ensure that updates are done
in the correct sequence.

If user-experiences are negative on subject i will solve my problems with
alternative solution.

I was using multithreading in c++ and realized some great advantages ...

Thanks a lot!
