You cannot link with DLL file - this is what .lib files are for. If you don't want to use library file, the easiest thing to do is get the function's address by GetProcAddress(), and call the function by its address,
rather than name.

BTW, why do you ask all that??? What's wrong with .lib files????

Hi Anton

I believe what the OP is asking is for a way to include the actual object code of the DLL into his EXE so that he dosen't have to e.g. distribute the DLL file itself. The program I linked in my other reply to this thread does just that.
