I have been successfully calling DLL's using VC++ 6.0 and also using VC++7.1
(.NET). I only mention this because I have never felt comfortable with the
process, but nonetheless it did work. Recently I started calling an unmanaged
DLL from a .NET app. It worked fine. Now I have the situation where I am
trying to call a function in one DLL from another DLL. Both are unmanaged and
are built with VC++7.1. In the calling DLL I set the property
page/linker/general/additional library directories to point to the directory
that contains MyDll.lib and MyDll.dll. The entry point is NOT being found. I
am sure that the signature is correct and that the DLL import/export
modifiers are correct. Everything is being compiled as C (instead of C++).
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

TIA,

Bill
