>>>You can try Dan Appelman (if I spelled it right) book for API. Called "API Bible" if I recall correctly.

>>No, Appleman's first book is "Visual BASIC Programmer's Guide to the Win32 API" (SAMS); Rich Simon's book is the "Windows NT Win32 API SuperBible" (Waite Group). Guessing is worse than letting someone who knows answer. By lots.

>Dan Appleman's 'Win32 API Puzzle Book and Tutorial for Visual Basic Programmers' http://www.desaware.com/PuzzleBookL2.htm

Which is built on the discussion of the API in his first book. You need a copy of the first book, which covers a much broader range of the API, as well as core concepts required to use it. The Puzzlebooks (there are now two of them) address specific topics in the API that expand on what's covered in his Programmer's Guide. FWIW, I have all of them and read them.

>>>>>has any body got any names of books, that tell me all or some API functions, and how to call them. Also how to call the functions to control the office suite (WORD, EXCEL, ETC) from VFP.
