MORE INFORMATION

You can add the AutoDialer button to a toolbar to automatically dial a telephone number using your computer's modem. To invoke the AutoDialer without using the AutoDialer button, call the wlib_AutoDial() function, supplying the function with the telephone number as an argument.

For a form with a field called Phone that holds a telephone number, you could call the wlib_AutoDial() function from a command button by setting the button's OnClick property to:
   =wlib_AutoDial([Phone])
				

You can also call the wlib_AutoDial() function in any module's Immediate window. For example, to dial the phone number 555-1212, type the following in the Immediate window:

? wlib_AutoDial("555-1212")
