Will db load .lib files using the load dll command? i know they are similar hence the dynamic link library and the library lol, and i really don't have any to test it out on.

I don't believe so. In general, a lib is static and is compiled into executable code. It becomes part of the actual application at compile time. A dll is sort of a free floating app in and of itself that dynamically links to a program at run-time. The DLL hangs around in memory instead of being part of the actual code so a single dll can be shared by many concurrently running exes.

Enjoy your day.

So Lib files are just like #include file in darkbasic?

Actually, that would be a good comparison, in DBC at least. An #INCLUDEd libary in DBC is a set of stand alone functions that are referenced by a main program.

Enjoy your day.
