>I was wondering how best to handle several DLLs that could be called (DECLARE INTEGER somecall in mything.dll...) a number of times but only if the user runs that part of my program. There appears to be no way to tell if the DLL is already loaded without doing a LIST DLLS to a file and then reading the file. I don't want to CLEAR DLLS because that takes All DLLs out. I don't appear to be having any problems with loading the DLLs each time at the top of the module that uses them even though this happens many times during the day. I don't want to call them at the entry of the entire program because many users will never use them.

What version of VFP are you running? If 7.0 or 8.0, there's the ADLLS() function to do this.
