Where did you get the steinberg sdk? Any url's?

I'm using Cubase SX and was thinking of trying some VST programming. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response. I looked before, but obviously not far
enough! :-)

The reason that your VST plugin does not work is because the 'main' function
is not exported correctly from your dll. From memory I remember you need
this line:

// prototype of the export function main
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) AEffect* main(audioMasterCallback
audioMaster);

and you need to disable the generation of underscores. Therefore for the
unit in which your main resides you need to right-click on the unit in the
project manager and select, "Edit Local Options...", then you need to go to
the Advanced Compiler/Output/Generate Underscores and uncheck it.

Rebuild and then copy your dll to the VST plugin dir for your VST app and it
can now be used.

To check you are exporting correctly use tdump. For example exporting but
with an underscore looks like this:

Exports from VSTGainPluginProject.dll
  2 exported name(s), 2 export addresse(s).  Ordinal base is 1.
  Sorted by Name:
    RVA      Ord. Hint Name
    -------- ---- ---- ----
    0000D0F8    2 0000 ___CPPdebugHook
    000012F4    1 0001 _main

but without (as we need...)

Exports from VSTGainPluginProject.dll
  2 exported name(s), 2 export addresse(s).  Ordinal base is 1.
  Sorted by Name:
    RVA      Ord. Hint Name
    -------- ---- ---- ----
    0000D0F8    2 0000 ___CPPdebugHook
    000012F4    1 0001 main


HTHs.
