DLL not found in WinXP

[Christoph Wirz]

I call a DLL from Excel. This works fine with Windows2000 and with Windows
NT but when I try to do it with Windows XP I get the following error
message:



Runtime error 53

File not found D:\Regr_Anal\RegAn.dll



(Of course I made sure the DLL exists and the path is correct.)



The declaration in Excel is:



Declare Sub REG_ANAL Lib "D:\Regr_Anal\RegAn.dll" _

(Polyg As Long, Nmess As Long, XMess As Double, Leverage As Double)



The DLL was written in Fortran. Its declaration is:



! RegAn.f90

! FUNCTIONS/SUBROUTINES exported from REGAN.dll:

! REG_ANAL - subroutine

!

SUBROUTINE REG_ANAL(Polyg,Nmess,XMess,Leverage)

!

! Expose subroutine REG_ANAL to users of this DLL

!

!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES DLLEXPORT::REG_ANAL

!

!

What do I have to change to run my Excel application on a computer with
Windows XP?



Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Try openeing a DOs box and typing:

regsvr32 D:\Regr_Anal\RegAn.dll

This may work by registering the DLL with XP.
