[RESOLVED] DLL problems, have two dlls, want to be able to select between them

Hi there,

I have two dll files, which i use to connect to a system.

They are the same, but one is an earlier version and the other is later.

I would like to be able to select which DLL file to use.

But it does not allow me to..

VB Code:

Declare Function Connect Lib "di" (ByRef id As Integer) As Integer

But both DLL files are named the same...

any ideas?

specify the path for dll to use like this;

Declare Function Connect Lib "c:\somefolder\di.dll" (ByRef id As Integer) As Integer

Yeah, but I would like to change the path by changing a string, but it brings up an error saying string constant needed...

I am currently just renaming the files.

Declare Function Con1 Lib "c:\somefolder\di.dll" Alias "Connect" (ByRef id As Integer) As Integer

Declare Function Con2 Lib "c:\anotherfolder\di.dll" Alias "Connect" (ByRef id As Integer) As Integer

How do you get the version number of the DLL file?
