Dialing a phone number

[Tim Henderson]

I have a list of contacts in an Access database table. How
can I dial the phone numbers I have stored there? I have a
modem in the PC, and would also need a way to put some
code behind a button labeled "Hang Up", so that once the
party answered, the modem would release the line. I don't
mind coding the API and something based on RAS might work
but I don't know where to begin dealing with RAS.

Thanks.

Hi Tim,

Access has had an Autodial facility for years; look in help for "Add a
button to dial a selected phone number" or some such.
