The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, Professional Edition, versions 3.0b, 5.0

SUMMARY

Foxtools.fll uses two support files to call functions in 16-bit dynamic- link libraries (DLLs).

MORE INFORMATION

Foxtools.fll uses two support files in Visual FoxPro versions 3.0 and 3.0b:

  • Fll32_16.dll is used for calling 16-bit DLLs under Win32s. - Ddereg.exe
is used for calling 16-bit DLLs under Win32.

These support files are used to call 16-bit DLLs with RegFn and CallFn. You need to include them with your application if it uses Foxtools to interface with the 16-bit API.

NOTE: If the 16-bit DLLs are not found, the error "Cannot find DDEML.DLL" occurs.

In Visual FoxPro 3.0b, FOXTOOLS looks for these files in the following order.

  1. Directory where FOXTOOLS was loaded from.

  2. Visual FoxPro default directory.

  3. Visual FoxPro search path.

  4. Visual FoxPro home directory.

If they are not found, a LOCFILE() dialog box is displayed.
