Strange error using a dll

[Torben Laursen]

Hi

I have a dll written in C++ builder that I have been using for several years
by calling it using VBA or C++ from VS.

But I cannot use it from a C# program. When I try to use a function inside
it I get this strange exception:
Unable to load DLL 'DB_Forms.dll': Invalid access to memory location.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703E6)

Can anyone give me some hints on what may be wrong?

PS I am using VS2005

Thanks Torben

Did you set a reference to this using the COM tab from Add References, and
make your call against the generated Interop assembly?

What is the function signature of the function inside the .dll and what
is the corresponding C# p/invoke signature you are using?
