 File not found using an external DLL file Hi. I'm new with VB.
I' m building al app in VB5 (WinNT 4.0).
I need to interface it with an external not windows SECLINK.DLL file.
Something like that:
Declare Function OSL_MakeServer Lib "seclink.dll" (server As Variant, err As
Integer, protocol As String, host As String, port As Integer, path As
String)
Unfortunately, when I run the software, I see the error message:
Run-time error '53'
File not found: seclink.dll
I' ve stored the SECLINK.DLL in:
- the same directory of the VB project,
- c:\winnt,
- c:\winnt\system32
and I tryed to declare the full path of my DLL, but no solution seems to
solve my problem!
May anyone help me ?
Thanks

File not found using an external DLL file Try putting the full path to the DLL in the declare (Lib
"C:\SomeDir\SECLINK.DLL" (...), or put the DLL in a directory where Windows
will do looking (C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System).

File not found using an external DLL file Don't know if this will help. Your declare is wrong. You have:
Quote: >Declare Function OSL_MakeServer Lib "seclink.dll" (server As Variant, err
As
>Integer, protocol As String, host As String, port As Integer, path As
>String)
It should either be: Declare Function ...() as Long (you need to declare the type of the return value) or : Declare Sub ...() (no return for a sub. --

File not found using an external DLL file Try to open the dll in notepad and see if it requires any other files, they
vill be visible as plain text
Maybe you get the missing file message from some third file referenced by
the original dll.

Check how the file name is actually stored on the directory, I believe in 16 bit the name is not case sensative but in 32 bit it is. so if it is on the disk as SECLINK.DLL then seclink.dll wouldn't not find it.

File not found using an external DLL file RegSVR and RegSVR are the 95 executable...NT may be different...
Use it to register DLL's etc that are present but not properly registered...
