Hi,
I have posted a generic query regarding ‘PtrSafekeyword’ few days ago.
However not able to find my post hence posting as new thread.
I have below line of code in my macro and am required to update it with ‘PtrSafe keyword’

Code:
[FONT=Calibri]Private Declare Function GetPrivateProfileStringLib "kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" (ByVallpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault AsString, ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Long, ByVal lpFileNameAs String) As Long[/FONT]

I am new to MS Access and have no idea about how this.
Can anyone please help how to do it.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Add in ptrsafe after the declare statement:

Code:
Private Declare [COLOR=#0000ff]PtrSafe[/COLOR] Function GetPrivateProfileStringLib "kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" (ByVallpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault AsString, ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Long, ByVal lpFileNameAs String) As Long
