What does the function delcaration look like?
It should look something like this

#define MYDLLAPI __declspec(dllimport)
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
	MYDLLAPI  BOOL __stdcall Function( /*ParamList*/ );
#ifdef __cplusplus
	}
#endif

Another thing, in Borland, __stdcall removes the leading _ that
C normally places in front of function names. So you might try
using _Function() in your application.

Or fixup a .DEF file as Ed suggests in the above lnks.

>(Or the correct newsgroup if this is not the right one)

The .IDE group would be ideal for settings.
