LIBLDAP.DLL and Visual Basic.

All,

I wonder if anyone can help me. I am trying to call libldap.dll
functions from Visual Basic 3.0. So far I have had little success !
The declaration for the function I am trying to use (ldap_open) is as
follows.

Declare Function LDAP_Open Lib "D:\user\bse91cr\xviewer\libldap.dll"
Alias "_ldap_open" (ByVal host As String, ByVal port As Integer) As
Long

Notice that I am using Long to represent the LDAP structure returned
from this function. I am not really very satisfied with this but I am
clutching at straws now !

The program currently crashes taking Visual Basic with it ! If anyone
has any bright ideas _please_ let me know !

Many Thanks,

--Chris Radley.
