Hi,
You need to have your DLL name start with CRUFLxxxx where xxxx is the rest of the DLL name i.e. CRUFLmyStuff.DLL, then copy into Crystal dir and then register from DOS prompt with: -
regsvr32 c:\winnt\crystal\CRUFLmyStuff.DLL)
after this restart CR and you should find your DLL function's from
formula workshop / functions / additional functions / Visual Basic UFL's and there should be your DLL functions.

If this don't work check out Crystals white paper SCR_User_Defined_Functions.pdf

good luck!

Hello mramesh73,

Just curious to know whether phil's resolution helped. I have plans of creating dll for the same purpose down the road.

Thanks
