At a previous job, I stumbled upon a Foxcode enhancement to add the Windows API declarations such that I could type the following in my VFP command window:

API

and then when I hit the space bar a little list of API declarations would pop up, I could select the one I wanted, and that declaration would execute in the command window.

It was the coolest little thing.

I think it came packaged in a file named APICALLS.ZIP. Perhaps the guy who packaged it is named Boudewijn Lutgerink (from an email address in the documentation file). I don't recall that it was difficult to set up. Seems I had to insert a couple of records in the Foxcode table, which was in use, so I had to copy the table, alter THAT, and then rename the copy. Then I had to put a table called APIDECLARES.DBF and it's memo file, then a program called DECLAPI.PRG in the HOME() directory. No big deal.

Now I am at a new job on a new computer with a brand new install of Windows 2000 and VFP 8, and I cannot get the thing to run to save my life. I really miss the thing because it makes using the API effortless when you have all the declarations right there at your fingertips.

Does anybody use this? Is there a trick to getting this set up? Sometimes it's the simple things which humble us ...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
