How do I call a 16 bit Dll from a 32 bit application?
If I call it by 'LoadLibrary' the Return Handle is 0.
Thank in advance

Welcome to the wide and wonderful world of thunking. If you have a copy of Microsofts MSDN handy look up something called thunking. Thunking is a technique of using a 16-bit DLL in Win32 land. Try it you'll like it :)

Have a look at my unoffical Win32 programming FAQ at http://www.web-span.com/pjohnson/. At the moment there isn't a lot of detail on this topic but it does give you the idea of where to go looking. I hope to be adding some specific code examples for this problem in the next few weeks.
