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!

Any ideas?

Regards

John

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

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.
