Sending DTMF tones to dial stored numbers

[RobinWinbourne]

Is there any way to take make access convert numbers into DTMF tones so as to quickly call a number being viewed on a form?
I am currently using external software... Have a command button that copies the number onto the clipboard and then opens the "dial" software using shell. I then have to click on the "paste" button followed by "play DTMF" within the "dial" software. 3 clicks... I want it to be just one!
Is there a way to get access to emit the tones directly?
Please help, this could be usefull for so many people!!!

You could probably make some API calls to retrieve the window handle and use the sendmessage funciton to achieve what you are trying to do.

Oh, yes, just what we need, another AutoDialer program. No, thank you, I don't think the telemarketers need any more help.

I've done it bit of surfing looking for API calls but cant seem to find much... I'm a bit of a novice!!!
Are you able to point me in the right direction?
