Hi,

Looking at writing a new module that uses an API from one of our suppliers.

Can an API from a 3rd party be bolted in to Access 2010 / VBA? It's going to call a webservice and uses XML.

Sorry for the vagueness, not got a lot of info at the minute but don't want to spend to long looking at it if I will be stopped on the first step :)
 
Yes. 3rd party APIs are never fun, but VBA should be able to use it. I've used Google Maps API inside VBA before as well as some simple web scraping.
 
Great, I am used to everything being a little more complicated in good old VBA :)

Thanks

plog / ian_w: I've got to do something which sounds very similar at the moment, could either of you offer any advice on how to go about it?

Thanks,

Phil
