Reference Problem

[Vaderman]

I am developing in VC++ 7.1 and I've created a DLL. This DLL works just fine. However, when I create an executable I try and add the DLL to my exe project as a reference - Reference->Add Reference. But when I try and run it, it fails stating that the DLL cannot be found! :confused:

Any ideas?

Regards

John

I'm not sure about the Reference thingo, do you have the dll in the same folder as the exe?

[Vaderman]

Yes I do. At the moment, I'm having to copy my DLL file from its debug directory over to the Exe's directory. Of course I can set up a path for the DLL with in the properties of my exe, but I thought I could just add it as a reference, but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
