PRB: FLL Created Without LCK API Functions Is Invalid (140638)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q140638 SYMPTOMS
You may receive the error message "Library file <filename> is invalid" when
using the SET LIBRARY TO command to load an .fll file created with the
Library Construction Kit (LCK).
CAUSE
There appears to be a problem with .fll files that are created for Visual
FoxPro that don't call any of the _Functions that are part of the FoxPro
API. This is not the case with .fll files created in previous versions. The
error appears to be caused by the fact that the DLL doesn't have any
exports. Normally a valid .fll file will contain the DispatchAPI export.
WORKAROUND
Call an extraneous .fll function in the code.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
