SUMMARY
=======
 
The Microsoft Access data-definition language (DDL) dynamic-link library
(DLL) provides data-definition support beyond that provided by Microsoft
Access. The Access Basic programmer can use the data-definition language
DLL to create, alter, and use tables, fields, indexes, and relationships.
 
DDL100.EXE, a self-extracting file, is available in the Microsoft Software
Library (MSL) on the following services:
 
 - CompuServe
      GO MSL
      Search for DDL100.EXE
      Display results and download
 
 - Microsoft Download Service (MSDL)
      Dial (206) 936-6735 to connect to MSDL
      Download DDL100.EXE
 
 - Internet (anonymous FTP)
      ftp ftp.microsoft.com
      Change to the softlib/mslfiles directory
      Get DDL100.EXE
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The DDL100.EXE file contains the following files:
 
   MSADDL11.DLL  Windows .DLL file containing the DDL functions
   MSA_DDL.H     Header file for writing C clients to MSA DDL
   MSA_DDL.TXT   Access Basic include file

This utility is provided specifically as an aid to developers who need
additional DDL capability. As with any DLL, passing an incorrect argument
type or value could result in general protection (GP) fault errors. If this
happens, check your arguments carefully. This utility contains an include
file (MSA_DDL.TXT) that you can use to declare these functions. This
utility is not supported by Microsoft. Make sure to save your work-in-
progress frequently to avoid potential data loss.
