Hi there,

I stumble upon this site while trying to understand about ParseSQLSyntax for my VB6 project.
Btw, if already know by now then sorry for the redundant info. But those "cf1? chars are RTF format. If output your syntax to a RichTextBox, this is what you'd get: http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sqlparser6pq.png

You might find this site interesting:

Turns out that the one method in the SQLPARSE.DLL returns the results as a string - in RTF!

Many thanks for your article. I am trying to xref the queries and tables used by all the queries in an Access project, and your reference to ParseSQLSyntax looks like it could save a lot of coding time.
The immediate catch was Access’s use of [] to bracket file and field names – unrecognised by ParseSQLSyntax, so the names came out in bits – but using a function to replace them in the SQL with quotes, means that each name now comes out of ParseSQLSyntax, as CF10s, but altogether. So anyway, now I am on my way!

My experience is the DLL Help Database doesn't always help. For example, I searched it yesterday using By Product + File, English (United States is the only flavour ...oops, I mean, flavor they have), Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, msjet40.dll. It found no results, yet I find it hard to believe that an Office suite that includes MS Access does not ship with the latest version of Jet.

Jazzer: Thanks for that link. I always wondered how people determined which programs supplied which files.

Hi,

Info about Microsofts DLL's can be found from http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/default.aspx

SQLPARSE.DLL ships with Office 2k Pro, Office XP Pro and Visual Studio 6.0 EE.

Hi Guys

I did a quick check for this file on my computer and found it under the Office folder. Also if you look at the screenshot provided by Dick, the full path to the DLL file is provided.

Rob: Foiled again. I guess I won’t be able to include that in a general purpose utility. I searched microsoft.com for sqlparse.dll and it looks like it’s also installed with Publisher – go figure that.

Dick,

I think SQLPARSE comes with Visual Studio - which I don't have here at home.
