Can't Find DLL entry point

[egapogi]

Hey Folks,

Got this error "Can't Find DLL entry point".

I tried to search in this forum and tried the reccomended solutions but still got the same .

I have an activexdll created using VB6.
When i include this dll as one of my references in my proj, its working smoothly.

for whatever reason, I am trying to call a function in the said dll without adding it as reference in my project.
Just like this...

Declare Function ShowFormName Lib "UserGroup.dll" (ByVal sFormName As String) as variant

I am sure i didnot misspell the function name.
I also tried using alias but it didnt work.

can anyone light me up?...

the error pops up when i call the function ShowFormName.

thanks,
egapogi

You can't call an mfc dll with declare function, you have to had a reference in your project. In VB you can not create a standard dll directly, to do this you need a third party programm or you have to create it with a different programming language.
