Hi folks,
Everybody is raving about Paul's MDB_Lib and I too would like to use it but it ain't working. I unzipped it, copied the mdb_Lib into the folder
C:\Program Files\PureBasic\PureLibraries\UserLibraries. I restarted PB but can't open the lib to see the list of functions (using openlibrary and functionname, etc. in a routine) . How do I call the functions or what am I doing wrong?
Thanx, folks

You dont need to examine the lib with these command. this are not normal .dll windows files. The lib files you copied are a PB specific file format. The commands will automatically integrated in the PB IDE. Just type the first letters of one of these commands and you will see them autocomplete in the editor for using.

It is not a lib as in dll, but a sort of extension to the language and integrated into the language.

The available "commands" or "functions" should be listed in a help or text file.



Edit: Too slow!

first install the library in the purebasic directory like any normal lib.

then read the help file that came with the library.

in the help file you should see code examples you can run and test.

just easy as that, nothing complicated.
