Well, maybe not...here is a case where there are no structure differences,
but I still get an error:

From the exporting DLL:

Exports from maint.dll
  2 exported name(s), 2 export addresse(s).  Ordinal base is 1.
  Sorted by Name:
    RVA      Ord. Hint Name
    -------- ---- ---- ----
    000011D2    1 0000 MaintValues(HWND__ *, MaintType_t, bool, short)
    0000381C    2 0001 __DebuggerHookData


From the importing DLL:

Error: Unresolved external 'MaintValues(HWND__ *, MaintType_t, bool, short)'

They look identical to me.

MaintType_t is a typedef'd enum:

typedef enum
{
  // blah, blah, blah
} MaintType_t;

....and both the exporting and importing DLL's #include the same header file
with the enum's typedef.  Strange.
