Thanks Firoball That really helps clear up why things were not working for me.. now that it does, it makes sense why it didn't...

Thank you Sid, I love reading your informations. Always a fun read. So basically just scrap everything I thought was right, and go back to square 1 where everyone has been telling me to start back at since the first time I asked this question...

So, dlls... face palm. For some reason Im having a tough time figuring these out..

Any good tutorials on combining VC++ with gstudio for a basic dll function?
