I wonder if this question should go to some kind of VB list instead?<br>

Hey guys, <br>
<br>
This question inpsired me to try this in VB6. I did a search and copied what I saw at <br>
<a href="http://forums.devshed.com/t158692/s.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://forums.devshed.com/t158692/s.html <img src="chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png" border="0">

<br>
However I'm running into the same problem they are. When I try to run:<br>
res = Python.PyRun_SimpleString("5+7")<br>
<br>
I get the error message:<br>
Bad DLL calling convention (Error 49)<br>
<br>
Which VB help describes as:<br>
<p>
<a>Arguments</a> passed to a
<a>dynamic-link library</a> (DLL) must exactly
match those expected by the routine. Calling conventions deal with number, type,
and order of arguments. This error has the following causes and solutions:
</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Your program is calling a routine in a DLL that's being passed the wrong
type of arguments.
<p>Make sure all argument types agree with those specified in the
declaration of the routine you are calling.</p>
</li><li>Your program is calling a routine in a DLL that's being passed the wrong
number of arguments.
<p>Make sure you are passing the same number of arguments indicated in
the declaration of the routine you are calling.</p>
</li><li>Your program is calling a routine in a DLL, but isn't using the StdCall
calling convention.
<p>If the DLL routine expects arguments
<a>by value</a>, then make sure <b>ByVal</b> is
specified for those arguments in the declaration for the routine.</p>
</li><li>Your <b>Declare</b> statement for a Windows DLL includes <b>CDecl</b>.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>

How do I get it into VB6? Now that's an answer that would save my life many times over.<br>
