Access 2003 & Skype

I have designed a client contact database.
I have added a callto: button on the database so that I can call directly through skype. Is their ayway to do any of the following:-
1, Record the call and using VBA save the recording with a specific filename and add a hyperling to a record.  (ie the notes table)
2, update the notes table automatically with the outcome of the call (eg. call time, connection, busy, wrong number etc).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I certainly agree that it is not going to be easy.

I found your question interesting though.

If you have any hope of doing this direclty with skype you are going to need to try and reference the sykpe API -  https://developer.skype.com/Docs/ApiDoc/FrontPage

If MSAccess lets you get that far and it exposes the skype objects,methods and functions then you are in with a chance.
Yep, that was my hope as well.

;-)
by the way - something that we missed or it was not know then - skype is doing COM compliant dlls.
