Anyone ever see this error when calling a dll? "Arbitrary.dll?"

[plyons.gks]

Hey folks, I'm attaching a jpg of the error I get as soon as I try and load a vi whose subVIs call a "Call Library Function".

Double clicking on the call function I can verify that the 'Library name or path" is correct, and the Function name is what I want.

I do not understand why it is telling me I need "Arbitrary.dll" - the name of the lib is adwgc.dll as indicated in the path (that I verified).

Anyone deal with this error before?  I'm pretty clueless at the moment, any help will be appreciatized and surely kudo'd!

thanks

You get this error because adwgc.dll is internally loading Arbitrary.dll because whoever wrote adwgc.dll called some function in Arbitrary.dll. The only to fix this is to get Arbitrary.dll and put it in a folder that adwgc.dll can load it from. Putting it in the same folder as adwgc.dll should work.

Where did you get adwgc.dll from and are you sure they didn't supply Arbitrary.dll as well?

Thanks Myle!

call me a n00b, I didn't even know dll's often call other dlls...

learn something new everyday.  On to the next one.
