Sorry...here are the details.

I am using Windows XP and it is a 32 bit program in GUI mode that I am
compiling.  The .lib that I am referencing was compiled using MS Visual C++
6.0.

Here are the specific error messages I'm getting:
Info :Linking C:\VSS_5.0\PremiumQuote199 (5.0)\PRODUCTS\OBJ\products.exe
Error:Error: Unresolved external 'DATTABLES::Find(char*)' referenced from
module src\acc.cpp
Error:Error: Unresolved external 'DATTABLE::GetValue(char*,unsigned
int,unsigned int)' referenced from module src\acc.cpp
Error:Error: Unresolved external 'DATOBJ::~DATOBJ()' referenced from module
src\products.cpp
Error:Error: Unresolved external 'DATOBJ::Load()' referenced from module
src\products.cpp
Error:Error: Unresolved external 'DATOBJ::DATOBJ(char*)' referenced from
module src\products.cpp
Error:Error: Unresolved external 'DATTABLES::~DATTABLES()' referenced from
module src\products.cpp
Error:Error: Unresolved external 'REFARRAY<DATTABLE>::~REFARRAY<DATTABLE>()'
referenced from module src\products.cpp

All of the offending items in the message are found in the dll created using
MS VC++ 6.0.
I've used the Borland Implib to generate the .lib from the dll (because I
was getting "Bad object file using the .lib created by MS VC++).

Could this possibly be something related to how MS VC++ creates the module
definitons versus how Borland expects them?
