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.

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
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
