[Dev-C++] DLL Problems

[Whitfield, E. <Edw...@na...>]

I have been trying to use a dll (QCard32.DLL) to create a simple card
program with Dev-C++ 4.1.  I have added the qcard32.lib file to the Project
Options -- and included the qcard32.h header file in the main.cpp file.  I
have added a menu item to try and show one card -- including two function
calls:  one to initialize the deck and the other to deal one card.
Everything compiles and links just fine -- the dll is located with the
executable and in the //windows/system directory.  But when I try to execute
the program, I get the following dialog box messages:

"The cardtest.exe file is linked to missing export QCARD32.DLL:."

and

"cardtest.exe     A device attached to the system is not functioning."

I know that the DLL and LIB files are okay.  I have used them in a VB5
application and with XBasic.  Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on
what I am doing wrong?  You help is appreciated.
