Does anybody remember a version of Paradox that was shipped with a synchronisation utility?  The utily was a third party app that would sync a local and remote database so changes in data on one would updated to the other.  I am developing an application that would be deployed on laptops and these would sync with a central database as and when convienient - maybe someone knows a better way to to do this?  We have abandoned terminal services, i haven't even attempted a paraodx web app...

I need to have access to some system DLLs from Microsoft. In some cases it is possible for example to get the size for a transfer/string buffer by passing first a NULL pointer to the function, later allocating space for that buffer and later call the same function with the address of that buffer., , For the second functionality it is necessary to declare the function in the Uses section with a CPTR argument (instead of CLONG, which allows directly to generate the NULL pointer). By this way every variable is passed by its address. How can I now directly pass a NULL pointer to the function without using an intermediate DLL exporting two different functions covering the two different functionalities by calling the desired function in the original DLL with different arguments?
