Juan Carlos,

In shapefil.h, what does the declaration for DBFIsAttributeNULL()
look like?  It should be:

int     SHPAPI_CALL
      DBFIsAttributeNULL( DBFHandle hDBF, int iShape, int iField );

In dbfopen.c the implementation should start:

int SHPAPI_CALL
DBFIsAttributeNULL( DBFHandle psDBF, int iRecord, int iField )

{


Is that the way it is declared in your copy of shapelib?

The problem you are running into looks like failure to give
DBFIsAttributeNULL the __declspec(export) attribute (hidden
in the SHPAPI_CALL macro).

Best regards,
