Now I''m really sorry posting 2 newbie questions in one night but.... after I have compiled any program in Visual C++ v6 the program, when runs says it can''t find the file .DLL, now this is ridiculous because there can''t be a DLL with no name, but ths happens to all the programs so I think it is a compiler problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Locke Brendan ''Locke'' Hennessy "I heard life sucks, so that''s why I don''t have one"
