==== Accesing AREV tables from VB (AREV Specific) ====

<QUOTE>
I am trying to access AREV tables from VB and have read various threads on ways to do this.  However, the threads seems a little old and possibly outdated.  I am unable to create a reference from VB to the REVSHELL.DLL and REVCAPI.DLL that are supplied with OpenInsight.



Is there a way to read AREV tables from VB 6.0?  



Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks,

Patty

I suspect that you might be able to read the AREV files from VB, but writing to them could be dangerous. I doubt that the Arev MFS is accessible via VB, so you might have difficulty reading larger records that are split across frames, and even where part of a record might be in the overflow file.
