The way I've solved similar problems in the past is to do one of the following: 1. Rewrite the DLL to accept strings for all arguments. Yecch. 2. Write a COM "wrapper" that accepts strings, and invoke the COM DLL from within your wrapper. Also, yecch. However, this is pretty easy to do, and you can do it with Windows Script Host, so you don't even need a compiler. You would write a WSH object with a COM interface, and invoke that from CF.
