Help With DECLARE DLL

I need to utilize some functions in a 3rd party dll. I'm using the
DECLARE statement, but I keep getting the "Cannot find entry point
FuncName in the DLL".

I used dumpbin /exports on the DLL. The function names look like
this:

_Function1@8
_Function2@8

I've also tried:

DECLARE integer FunctionName IN that.dll ALIAS "_Function1@8"

But this returns the same error.

Can someone help me with these decorated function names.

Thanks!

Rush,

Seems like an explicit export to me

If the exports show something like

FunctionName@8

then this may work (just a guess)

declare integer FunctionName in that.dll

Rushmore, perhaps?
But I agree, one Rush is enough! ;-)

Rush,
Alias is your name for the function, the function name you DECLARE must =
exactly match what's in the DLL. So try:

DECLARE integer _Function1@8 IN that.dll AS myFunc1

Note: In VFP the ALIAS is actually AS.

How odd - I've heard that so often, especially as people get to know me . .
