Can't find DLL entry point / VB6
Posted on 2006-07-10
Hi,
I'm calling a function from a dll written in C++ Borland 5.02 as follows:
declaration:
Declare Function UpgradeTables Lib "emUpgradeDB.dll" (ByVal Region_English As Integer) As Long
call:
dim Result as long
Result = UpgradeTables(92)
In C++ the function is declared as follows:
extern "C" int FAR _export UpgradeTables (int languageID)
The result is 'Run-Time error '453': Can't find DLL entry point UpgradeTables in emUpgradeDB.dll
Can anybody tell me what the problem could be?
Thanks!

Make sure the dll is in the system32 directory. The way your declaring the DLL if your debuging in the IDE its going to look for the DLL in the system32 directory.
However when you disturbute your application your exe will first look in the application path and then the system32 directory for your DLL as you have it declared above.
Also make sure the exported function is spelled correctly, because its case sensitive.

Make sure the dll has a correct DEF file in... Also, if its a syntax error maybe the C++ TA could help you out...
