Hi ALL!
I call functions from National Instruments DAQ mx dll ("nicaiu.dll"). 
On _some_ computers code compiled in BCB 6.0 generates memory violation 
when calling one of the functions (DAQmxGetChanType). The same code in 
Visual C works fine everywhere.

The code is pretty standard (http://www.specman4epr.com/NIDAQtest.zip), 
declaration of function is correct.
.h:
typedef int32 (__CFUNC *DAQmxGetChanType_f) (TaskHandle taskHandle, 
const char channel[], int32 *data);
.c:
HINSTANCE handle = LoadLibrary(_library);
DAQmxGetChanType_f  DAQmxGetChanType = (DAQmxGetChanType_f) 
GetProcAddress(handle, "DAQmxGetChanType");
...
first call of this function causes crash on _some_ computers.

Did anybody experience similar problems ?

Regards,
Boris
