Windows NT and DLL problem

   I wrote a DLL in Delphi3 and compiled it under NT
when I run my main program that uses the DLL, it gives me the messsage that "DLL not found c:\winnt;c:\winnt\system;c:\winnt\system32" But in at least one of them DLL exist.
What can be the reason ?
thanks in advance...

If you're declaring a function like this:

function DoYouFeelLuckyPunk: Boolean; stdcall; external 'MYFILE';

then change 'MYFILE' to 'MYFILE.DLL'. Back in the old D1 days, I noticed that you had to supply the extension or the dll was not found. This was only on NT, and was D1. Maybe this is a problem on D3 too?

(BTW: The D3 sources supply the extension)

Philip: Actually, you could get away without the extension in D1, but in D2 you suddenly needed to include it (something to do with Win32...)

OK D2 then, it was just a vague memory. But thank you for the correction. Maybe I'll return the favour the next time there is a unicode question eh? Cheers.
