First of all the contents of 'Proc' are irrelevant at compile time because
at compile time the variable doesn't even exist. That's the difference
between 'compile time' and 'run time' :)

Secondly even at run time the contents of 'Proc' are irrelevant. The code
will attempt to call the function no matter what address is in it. There's
no checking it can or will perform.

Thirdly:what's with the brackets? Are they really in the example?

That line is a normal, common or garden function call and

  Proc( szRunTypes, (char *)&rntyptable );

should be fine.

This means that the situation you have is that you are trying to call a
function and the compiler is telling you that you have supplied too many
arguments. Forget it's a DLL exported function for the moment:that is
irrelevant.

I'm sure you've encountered this situation before and the remedy is always
to double check the original parameter declaration. From your earlier
thread you stated:

Now this is immediately a mismatch. This declares a pointer to a function
that takes one argument. Unfortunately you've never given us the
declaration of 'Proc' itself but if you have:

MYPROC Proc;

Then you've declared 'Proc' as pointing to a function that only takes one
argument.

What you need is:

typdef VOID (*MYPROC)( ???, LPTSTR );

Where '???' is the type of 'szRunTypes'.
