Hi,

I might be way off here - but exposed / exposed functions need to be called
with the correct calling convention.

Double check if it should be cdelc vs stdcall
Also check that you declare your EXTERNAL declaration with the same calling
convention (in your case: specify cdelc in your external declaration)

First things I could think of.

Regards
Danie
