The first parameter should be the decorated function name, whereas you used an undecorated function name. Try this code instead(it makes the function have an undecorated name in the dll):

Aha. The final problem is that your string table is set to call a function called 'TEST', while your real function is called 'Test'. C++ is case sensitive, so you have to get the name absolutely right to get it to work.

You have actually put the DLL in the plugins-user folder, right?

I'm not sure but I think the first function name you give the command as name has to be in uppercase:

STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
1, "TEST%S%Test"
END

That's right. The DBPro command should be in uppercase (the first part of the string), and the C/C++ function name (the third part) should match the code.

ugh... it still didnt work...

i have another question, but im not sure if this is related to the string table problem: when i compile the DLL, a few other files are created with it(.lib, .tds, and .res files); does the DLL need these to function properly?

@Ben: yes, i have been putting it in the plugins-user folder for every try i do

no the dll is purely the file with the .dll extension - all the other files are used by the compiler

If you send me the whole project via email, I'll take a look to see what the problem is.

I don't have BC++6, so I can't check this myself, but I do remember that Borland like to tag an underscore onto the start of exported names.

Change the resource string to this and try it again:

1, "Test%S%_Test"

Let me know how it goes
