Intermittent "Error in loading DLL" in LotusScript External DLL Call

I’m hoping that maybe the community might be able to provide some guidance on an issue we have been encountering recently. We have recently moved from Notes 6.5.1 to Notes 8.0.2 FP1, and have found that one of our Notes Agents executing a LotusScript intermittently fails with a “Error in loading DLL”

We use a standard declaration:

Declare Function pd_init Lib “myDLL.dll” (Byval param1 As String, Byval param2 As String,_

Byval param3 As String) As Long

I was wondering if anyone encountered similar situation with an upgrade? Paths are correct, otherwise this would have been reproducable.

Thanks

Subject: Sound like myDLL.dll isn’t specified in the System’s PATH environment variable

In order to have the genericspecification with just the dll-name, it must reside in one of the directories specified in the PATH environment variable.

If that isn’t the case, you can always try to specify the absolute path and filename instead, such as “c:\Program Files\My Project\myDLL.dll”

Hope this helps!
