I finally started to work with DLLs that contain forms, and the docs say
to use the .LIB file created by compiling the DLL and include it in my
application project. Everything works fine no problem. This seems much
simpilier that using the LoadLibrary Method.

Question: Does including the LIB file described in the docs, load the
DLL at runtime or does it load the DLL into memory only when I call the
function that encompases the ???->ShowModal(); call for the form.

I like the idea of using DLLs to save on RAM usage especially when the
code in the DLL is used infrequently like application setup and
customization.

Thanks All...
