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

[dinosaur_uk]

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..

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

But both DLL files are named the same...

any ideas?

[Deepak Sakpal]

specify the path for dll to use like this;

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

[dinosaur_uk]

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

[dinosaur_uk]

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?
