Is it possible to use Access XP to receive TAPI events?

[Chris Nebinger]

Yes, it should be possible, the same as in VB. But, as to
how, it's something I've never done.

Also, how would the caller's phone number get passed?

You might want to check the VB sites
(http://vbnet.mvps.org) for more info. I'd be interested
in seeing what you get done then.

We want to be able to have an Access XP database be notified of TAPI events.

The functionality that we would like to produce is that

when the phone rings we can have Access query a table of
customer phone numbers and if the customer is recognised
then popup a form with the customer's details and allow
the user to answer the call.

We have a reference to the TAPI 3.0 Type Library but do

not know what to pass for the lCallbackInstance parameter
on RegisterCallNotifications.

As long as they speak VB, you can use it.

Erm, VB has various relevant things (like AddressOf) that Access does not
have.

Sure you can. It's just not supported.

In A2K or higher, AddressOf is supported and you no longer need to use
Michaela nd Ken's AddrOf workaround.

Thanks for the info and I'm sure that AddressOf function will need to be used but what I wanted to know was how to create the lCallbackInstance parameter to pass to the RegisterCallNotifications method. The documentation that I have read on the subject seems to assume that you are going to be using C++ rather than VB.

Here is a short explicit example, using what I posted previously:

lCallbackInstance = GetFuncPtr(AddressOf fOFNHookProcC)
