Error:1299 DLL 'dll file not found' with DllLoad

Question:

Below is a simple example of loading a dll. I get a "DLL file not found" error when I try to load the dll without doing a DirChange() to the directory where it located. The DllLoad works fine when I un-comment the DirChange() line below.

Example:

filedir="e:\test"
dllname="e:\test\extract.dll"
;DirChange(filedir)
dllhandle=DllLoad(dllname)

Answer:

Sounds like maybe that DLL needs other dependent DLL's, which are located in the directory you are changing to.
