Hi Tim,
If i understand the problem correctly i think this will help. Try either hardcoding the paths to the dlls into your EXE or keep them in your program folder and locate them @path(%0).

Like this:

External @path(%0)vdsipp.dll

I also normally use:

External @path(%0)vdsipp.dll

I don't think it's ever failed for me.

Strange... are they just general VDS errors or specific to the DLL?

Which dll are you refering to? Or is this happening to all dll's?

it seems to be just this one vdsipp.dll that is causing the problems Sad

thanks

From the vds help file under the Error Messages section:

Sometimes the error line number VDS returns is one off from the actual line number...

Don't know if this helps... but the trickiest variable problem I have found is when parsing data. The IDE doesn't highlight the variables you're parsing to since they're enclosed in quotes. I always manage to substitute a colon for a semicolon between variables or leave out the comma between the set of variables I'm parsing to and the one I'm parsing from. Both of these will give you an error 5.
