Peter,

These DLLs do not get registered. You should be building a Windows Dynamic Link Library, not a COM DLL.

Did you model the VC++ project after one of them from my website? Those have all of the settings you need and they are hard to incorporate into a message here. One problem is that the options are set on about a dozen tabs in the VC++ project file.

What error are you getting?

The easily missed item is using the .DEF file to mark the exported functions:

; dequote.def : Declares the module parameters for the DLL.

LIBRARY "dequote"
DESCRIPTION 'dequote Windows Dynamic Link Library'

EXPORTS
; Explicit exports can go here
DeQuote @1
Reverse @2

These are case sensitive as is the VFP DECLARE command.

You just add the functions you want to export as Member Functions of the C++ code.

The easiest way to get something up and running might be to just add a test function into the DeQuote.DLL and see if you can get that working.
