use the telephone to make calls from a telephone number field in Access

[Gene Hensley]

Dialing from Outlook is simple and easy. I need that
ability in Access. How can i do that?

You need to make an API call...see code below

'TAPI dialer
Private Declare Function TAPI_Make_Call _
Lib "tapi32.dll" Alias "tapiRequestMakeCall" _
(ByVal stNumber As String, ByVal stDummy1 As String, ByVal stDummy2
As String, _
ByVal stDummy3 As String) As Long

Function MakeTAPICall(PhoneNumber As String) As Long

On Error Resume Next

MakeTAPICall = TAPI_Make_Call(PhoneNumber, "", "", "")

End Function
