DLL LIB problem ("cant find DLL")

Oh boy.... I have been on this all morning and I cant figure it out what wrong....

I wrote a MFC DLL app. A couple of simple classes. I compiled it and created the DLL and LIB files. Evrything nice....
Then I create an app to test it. A MFC Exe. I add the LIB file to the project, include the header files for the classes that I use from the DLL and it should work... but it tells me that it cant find the DLL. It sends me 3 message boxes saying it cant find the DLL, that the program cant be executed and more blah blah!

What else do I have to do besided what I did to use the DLL?

Thanks for your help!::)

May be a silly question, but is the DLL in the same folder as the .exe?

hehe... ooppss.... the question isnt that silly since I didnt know they have to be in the same folder....

THANKS!

They don't have to be in the same folder, they just have to be somewhere on Windows's DLL loader search path (which includes things like %WINDOWS%, %WINDOWS%\system[32], the local directory, etc.).

nice tip... thank you
