Hi Cetin,
I am using VFP 8. I looked at the error file and what I had listed in the first post was the extent of the error. I am inclined to agree with you, I believe the .dll is not needed and I am looking at taking it out. I did try putting in a DECLARE DLL statement and it did get rid of the error in the compile, but I am unsure what effect it will have on the code overall with .dll's used.
thanks for your and everyone else's recommendations.
