Yes, there does not seem to be a .lib file in the distribution. The only way I
know of to use the DLL in this case is to use LoadLibrary() calls to access
each function. (Although I could be wrong). Here's how to do this:
HINSTANCE hInst = LoadLibrary("mitab.dll");
if (hInst==0)
{
AfxMessageBox("Could not load mitab.dll!");
}
else
{
FARPROC fp_mitab_c_getlibversion = GetProcAddress(hInst,"[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
int (*mitab_c_getlibversion)(/*args*/) = (int
(*)(/*args*/))fp_mitab_c_getlibversion;
int nVersion = mitab_c_getlibversion();
CString s;
s.Format("Mitab version = %d",nVersion);
AfxMessageBox(s);
}Personally I use a version of Mitab that I built myself from the source files
- this is another option for you.
Cheers,
Anthony.

Thank you for your help so far.
I added Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -
> Input -> Additional Dependencies -> mitab.dll
Now I get even more cryptic:
mitab.dll : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot
read at 0x280
Looking for info on that error I see:
"LNK1107 could also occur if you attempt to pass a module (.dll
or .netmodule extension created with /clr:noAssembly or /NOASSEMBLY)
to the linker; pass the .obj file instead.
I'd be happy to pass .obj instead, if I had one. But that may not be
the cause.
Also you mentioned that I should add a path to the LIB file. There
is no lib file in the mitab-1.7.0- win32 package. There is a mention
of compiling the library in the README.TXT. Is that what I need? I
don't find any makefiles - although that section seems to be catered
more to VB (nmake -f makefile.vc)
Sorry I need more hand-holding.
