Visual Basic, Why DLL won't work in vb4.0?

Why DLL won't work in vb4.0?

Author	Message
Matt Ree #1 / 2	Why DLL won't work in vb4.0? I have this radio card that I got made by Reveal. Awhile ago I got a DLL that allows any language that can call DLL's to control the card. There is instructions on how to use it in Visual Basic (the version they use is 3.0) and a sample .mak project. I wrote a small app and did everything right. When I run my app it says that it has an error loading the DLL. I checked the help and it couldn't be anything other than the DLL is not compatible with something. But why? Is there any way to update the DLL so it will work? I even tried loading the sample .mak and converting it to 4.0 and then running it I got the same error.... Any Ideas?

You should either contact Reveal to see if they have a 32-bit version available or write a 16-bit OLE automation server that interfaces to the Reveal DLL and call it from your 32-bit application.
