Ordinal is not valid

Your call to a dynamic-link library (DLL) indicated to use a number instead of a procedure name, using the #num syntax. This error has the following possible causes:

• An attempt to convert the #num expression to an ordinal failed.

• The #num specified does not specify any function in the DLL.

• A type library has an invalid declaration resulting in internal use of an invalid ordinal number.

To correct this error

1. Make sure the expression represents a valid number, or call the procedure by name.

2. Make sure #num identifies a valid function in the DLL.

3. Isolate the procedure call causing the problem by commenting out the code. Write a Declare statement for the procedure, and report the problem to the type library vendor.
