[AccessD] Ten most common tasks/problems in Access

I use my own  DLL in payroll applications for doing  tax calculations.  I wrote it in 
PowerBASIC.

I use BLAT.dll for emailing out of Access.

I use a third party zip DLL for file compression/decompression

I use API DLLs in most applications. Kernel32.dll, Shell32,Ole32.dll,Comdlg32.dll,Avapi32.dll 
all appear in my standard API  functions module.  This handle such functions as 
GetUsername, OpenFile/Folder etc dialogs,  GetSpecialFolder (Desktop, 
Documents,AppData,Temp etc),  ShellWait (shell to another process and wait for it to finish 
before continuing).


(I used to use a DLL for PDF work until MS included the capability in Access.)

No add-ins.
