I am investigating on this... Right, C++ name mangling breaks any kind of hope of linking together multi-compiler object files. And it won't work in a DLL either. The way to do it is to write a C wrapper for your C++ code and export that in your DLL. And then to use that for your interface. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Amazing Developments http://www.buddydog.org I feel like a fugitive from the law of averages. - William H.
