Has anyone had any luck utilising the OCX and Type Library under a VBA
environment such as Microsoft Access '97/2000? I use VBA and a number of
ActiveX controls day-in day-out at work, but I'll be damned if I can get the
SDK to work under Access '97. I have the wrapper registered as a control and
included in my list of References. Rather than use the control on a form,
I've declared an object variable of type AwSdkOcx and I'm working with that.
However, my first call to AwCreate throws an illegal operation.

My code works something like this -

Dim SDK As AwSdkOcx ' local to the form class module

Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()

Dim rc As Integer

Set SDK = Me!axSDK.Object ' make explicit reference to object property,
unlike VB

rc = SDK.AwInit(AW_BUILD)
SDK.AwEventSet AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD
rc = SDK.AwCreate("0", 0) ' this throws the illegal op

Can anyone cast any light on what I'm doing wrong? My libs are all the
correct versions as I've managed to write a few little apps in C++ quite
happily.

Thanks in advance.

Apologies. This probably should have been posted to the sdk newsgroup.

My first post, so please forgive any indiscretions/stupidity.

Is there anywhere I can download the entire sdk documentation for offline
browsing? Save me connecting and running up my phone bill any more than it
is already.

Cheers.
