Paul, Paul Noble stated (correctly) that you can use PB generated DLL's with Access and VB. He did not say that you can _directly_ use the VB/VBA DAO COM library from PowerBASIC.
You have a few possibilities though... you could use SQLTOOLS to handlke the DB stuff from PowerBASIC, or you could use JACOM/PB ( www.jazzagesoft.com ) with PB/DLL in order to utilize the DAO ActiveX library.

The same as VB? VB uses all the DAO and ADO object models to control Access, how does PB access MS Access? I'm still a little new to PB

Trevor,
Yes, you can use PowerBASIC dlls with Access, just the same as you do from VB.

Trevor, I suggest you use the search feature and look for
MS Access and SQL Tools. There are several posts on the
subject which im sure will help you with your decision.

Microsoft Access
I think I am going to be offered a new job writing Access Databases.
I hope this could be an opportunity to really show off and make
a difference. The question is this;
My prospective employer is adamant that the database AND APPLICATION
be written in Microsoft Access. There are many good reasons for
this that I do not need to go into. I got the job based on my
VB experience and have no worries about making the change. But
does anybody know whether I can use DLL's written with PB in
Microsoft Access. If I can, then I will have to upgrade to PB/DLL
sooner rather than later and really start making a difference.
Many thanks
Trevor
