In VB 6 debug mode, problem with dll

Question

my vb6 app is not finding a dll that is residing in the same directory as the project. What do I do to have the vb6 code see the dll? When compiled to an exe, the code sees the dll if it is in the same dir as the exe. Thanks!

Answer 1

When you're in the IDE, the current directory will probably not be the project folder, but your VS6 / VB6 folder.

Try this as your program starts up:

  ChDrive App.Path
  ChDir App.Path

I think I have that right. In any case, you see the point...

Answer 2

You could add the dll into the references of the project that needs to see it, and that should do the trick. Hope that helps.
