This thread is for discussions of API Programming Series #1.

this looks quite promising, at least if he keeps goin' and wud be nice if he exposes some calls... for guys who want to expand their "Database"

Hey
just wondering if anyone has an advice for a problem tha i'm trying to solve:

I need to make an API call from VBA within Excel to get information about the compnany that the machine is registered to.  I was wondering if anyones knows the DLL file it's in or any other way of getting this informmation into Excel

Really appreciate anyone's input.

Thanks RT

Look in the registry:

For WinNT/2K (I assume this works on XP too...)

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\RegisteredOrganization

You'll need to find a way to read this key as VB can't do it on it's own.  You can use API Routines Reg*.  Check msdn (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library) for more details.
