Hi all,

I am trying to access a 3rd party DLL; here is the declaration for VB:

Declare Function bConnect Lib "dClient.dll" (hostID$, portnum%, tcphandle&, maxtime&) As Long

I am able to access the DLL from VB using this declaration. I need to use the DLL from Fox. Here is what I am trying in VFP6 SP3:

declare long bConnect in dClient string hostID, short portNum, long @tcpHandle, long maxTime
tcpHandle = 0
? bConnect("127.0.0.1",8227,@tcpHandle,0)

I have also tried 'dClient.dll', 'dClient' variations in the DECLARE statement (putting the DLL name inside quote marks).

I'm getting the message: "Declare DLL call caused an exception." Does anyone see the error of my ways?

Thanks,
