Accesing AREV tables from VB (AREV Specific)

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 However, the threads seems a little old and possibly outdated.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

If you only want to do this for Data Conversion, you might instead experiment using OI to open the data files and create a VB compatible file.

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.
