Wow, that would be great. Work with Access files from Euphoria. I guess someone will have to crack open a book and either figure out the MDB format or Do some fancy Windows programming and hook some DLL's. We listen. If we don't answer then we don't know.

I have no idea how much work would go into creating a EuODBC library but it looks like a lot. I'm interested in doing a front-end for an Access database as well so maybe I'll take a look. Even if I don't finish what I start, I might be able to come up with a good foundation for others to build on. Has anybody else considered doing this project? Any feedback would be nice. -- Brian

This brings up a good point - shouldn't it be possible to write a programme to automatically create simple euphoria wrappers for something like this? Just run a programme and poof, you have odbc access? (It would obviously need fine tuning...) Nick

If Euphoria could directly access these API's without having to write a wrapper for each one, then all we would need is API doc for whatever target we had and voila...or poof...as you say. Of course then all you have to do is be able to read all that lovely API documentation and make sense of it. Not even Euphoria can do that for you Everett L.(Rett) Williams rett at gvtc.com

Hi Nick I think a program to wrap functions for a DLL is a must. I am considering doing this for the Morfit for Euphoria thing. Whenever they add functions to the DLL I'm adding the wrappers by hand. It's very easy to miss stuff if it's been added somewhere in the middle of an include. I'm definitely going to try it before their next DLL release. On this topic, could the clever people on the list possibly provide a list of things to watch out for when creating wrappers? Such a list would be a handy guide.
