C++ DLL not exposing function

[nmessick]

I am trying to write a simple dll that just starts another program (note pad for testing). I have the call for that worked out fine, however the DLL is not exposing its functions to the calling program. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks alot! I hope I can return the favor some day.

try changing it to:

spawnlp( _P_OVERLAY,"notepad.exe","notepad", NULL );

or:

spawnlp( _P_OVERLAY,"C:\\winnt\\notepad.exe","notepad", NULL );

Also, make sure you include the callexe.lib and callexe.h file in your executable project. I was able to compile and run the program without a problem.

The other thing you need to make sure is that you copy the callexe.dll file into your executable's project folder.
