Thanks Tim, I think what I will do is start with a clean slate and take into account what Coleman said. Just add the libraries in the Object/Library modules area and call the functions as normal. However there was also mention to place the dll related files in the exe directory from where the application runs.
I am going to give this a try and if unsuccessful then I will place the lib files in the include area as suggested by yourself. I will come back to everyone on this issue. Thanks for the input.

See my setting with the reply to GORKA. Actually in that mail you say: > In the workspace area, mine is situated on the left: > Header files: > All xml header file are included here Adding third party headers explicitly to your project is usually a bad idea (although it can work). Better to just put them where the compiler can find them. The easiest way is to copy them to <VC6 Install Dir>\VC98\INCLUDE (and put the .lib in <VC6 Install Dir>\VC98\LIB). > Resource files: > libxml2.lib > lib.lib > Iconv.lib It don't think this causes them to be linked in, so this is pretty pointless. > Object/library modules: > Ws2_32.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib > winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib > ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib That looks like the regular set of Windows libs - libxml2.lib (and iconv.lib) are conspicuously absent, even though you say you have them.
