    You have to define the DLL and the function you want from it. Definitions go in Declarations section of a module and look a bit like this
    Code:
    Public Declare Function FuntionName Lib "my.dll" Alias "functionnameA" (Variable1 As Long etc etc) As Long
    You should find the actual declare along with the dll somewhere.

    Most of the declares you will want to look for

    I assumed it was a third party one, in which case it wouldn't be there . If it is one of the Win32 API's, then indeed it will be, but if it is third party, there should be a declare in the documentation. Just copy/paste that into the declarations section of a module.
