If the library in question is an import library for a DLL, then you must
also set the link flag to Dynamic linking in TargetExpert. If it is set
to Static linking, you will see the same symptoms you described.

The above posting appeared in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.owl
newsgroup, which deals with issues related to the ObjectWindows
framework offered with Borland C/C++ compilers. The above solution
applies to that compiler.

If you need solutions to Watcom or Visual C++ compiler related problems,
then surely the owl newsgroup is the wrong one to post it to.
