    Hi Shon,
    Thanks this helped. The root cause was that the dll was probably not
    well compiled when I used the nmake command line options.

    When I used VC 6.0 to compile the release dlls (Debug ones failed
    though) everything worked fine.

    Wonder why the nmake command line options failed. I have vc6.0 and 7.0
    on my machine. do i have to set up special variables when i use the
    command line options?
    Thanks
