 Runtime Error 48. File not found: xxxx.dll I have run into this before, but dang if I can remember how I fixed
it.
I have a copy of the dll in; windows, windows\system, and the
application directory.
Why doesn't it find this dll? How can I tell it where to find it? It
is for a bas module for a parallel port encoder.
thanks

Runtime Error 48. File not found: xxxx.dll What kind if of link library is it and how are you calling it..?
If it's not exported system call, or it's an activex component call than the
dynamic link library may not be self registering, in which case a simple
call to C:\> REGSVR32.EXE "DLLNAME.DLL" [ENTER] form the command prompt
will register it. From the feel of your message this doesnt sound like
it's activex but rather an declared call to dll export. To solve that
problem, simply load your project in VB and select "PROJECTS-->REFERENCES"
from the top drop-down menu. Once the references window opens than you'll
probably see a line near the top that has the words "MISSING" or you may not
see the DLL your using at all checked. In either case click the browse
button, select the .DLL, save and that should solve your problem.
Hope this helps,
Good Luck, and Regards,
R.W.

Runtime Error 48. File not found: xxxx.dll is the dll "registered" ?
is the path patent?
is the dll library reference statement (declare) correctly formed?

Runtime Error 48. File not found: xxxx.dll It may be finding that file, but not one of its dependents, check out the
Microsoft site for DEPENDS.EXE, point it at your DLL and see what other
files it uses. Check if they are registered.
Hope this helps

I tried this. Returns this error...
Load Library "c:\...\ad6drv.dll" failed
GetLastError returns 0x00000485

I had already tried this. It tells me "can't add a reference to the
specified file"
A little more background on this problem. I am moving a project from
one computer to a new one. Everything works fine on the other
computer. I have done everything that I think I did on the other one
to get this to work, but it doesn't, so I missed something. I
installed the package that includes the ad6drv.dll(didn't just copy
the folder, did a real install). I only copied the project folder
from my other computer to this one.
I hope some of this helps...
Thanks so far guys

Runtime Error 48. File not found: xxxx.dll Exactly ! - if it is a 'real' DLL and not one of thos Microsoft COM
objects masquerading under a DLL extension then it *does* *not* need
registering - and *cannot* be registered.
The chances are that it needs some dependant 'real' DLL
You can test for it being there and found by using the LoadLibrary API
If the worst comes to the worst you can peer at the DLL in a text
editor and maybe find what other DLL it wants.
