I have a DLL called acmsdi.dll which handles the processes, connections etc. between Windows and Digital VMS using ACMS. I am calling this DLL from Visual C++ (4.0). I have used '_declspec (dllimport) void func(..);' as a function declaration - this did not work. I have also used 'void extern WINAPI void func(..);' as a function declaration - this did not work. Is there any other method of calling a DLL function from C (compatible with VC 4.0 ), or am I using the above methods incorrectly.

Could you elaborate on "didn't work"? Do you mean you couldn't
call into the library, or things blew up when you did?
You'll probably want to put 'extern "C"' in front of the function
prototypes to prevent any name mangling by the compiler.
