Hi,
Is there any code or macro to input in a control to be able to call a phone
number with my telephone tool by clicking the phone control in Access ?
Thanks for any help

Hi Lina,

This http://support.microsoft.com/kb/148857 explains how to do it in Access
97, but should work with later versions too.

If I remember correctly, one of the options, when using the Wizard while
adding a command button, is to call a telephone number. You can also add a
phone toolbutton to the toolbar.

John,
Many thanks for the support site below. As requested, I copied the coding
into my database, it seems to work, but... our telephone network work via the
Server (DHCP) not via a modem and a Com port, maybe should I have to change
something in the coding. Our telephones have MAC Address ! and IP Address !
I would like my colleagues to be able to call directly via Access, as they
have access to the database.
Thanks for any help
