Thanks for the response Sid!<br />
So, a BAPI is a function written in ABAP that thas been RFC-enabled. I know how to use the activeX component in Delphi but I’m wondering how to programme a BAPI function for a simple selection. Could you maybe give me an example? I got the minisap from the abap objects book installed.<br />

Ok,<br />
Just to get it clear a bapi is more an object(or class) then just an function and a RFC is just a function(like a table read)?

Hello,<br />
Can someone explain to me what Business Application Programming Interface is. I thought that BAPI was a sort of &quot;protocol&quot;(your external app) to call abap functions with a ActiveX component (RFC), am i right?<br />
Is that a good book/documentation(i would like to use BAPI/RFC in delphi)?<br />
