How do I use runtime .dll?

[FRED_EMMERICH_(Guest)]

I am trying to use the .dll to run reports from a C++ Builder application. I am using the SQl version 8.1. Previously I had done this using the XBASE version and had trouble because of the way R&R had been compiled. It required a lot of screwing around to make it work and I don^t have those instruction anymore. What it came down to was R&R was compiled on a MS compiler which creates .dll^s incompatible with other compilers. A Windows .dll is not a Windows .dll apparently. ____Anyway, my question is: is the SQL version set up the same was as the XBASE version was? And is version 10 done any differently in this regard?____Thanks__

What is the runtime .dll? I have both XBASE and SQL on my PC and I see rrrpt32.dll. Is this used by both versions? I am trying to determine the name of the file for the SQL version.____thanks

The SQL runtime DLL is RSRPT32.DLL.____Kathleen__R&R Support

I stumbled into that by searching for "chooseDatasource" in a .dll. I got it flanged up, fortunately it uses all C functions (not C ) and I was abled to create aliases for all the function names. ____It would be really great if R&R was available as a static library that could be linked into a project. If so, there is a difference between the MS .lib format and the BORLAND format (COFF vs. OMF).
