Sharing of unit numbers / files between DLLs

I'm not sure if it was by chance or not, but we were previously able from DLL2 to write into a file created and opened in DLL1, by sending the unit number between the DLLs. This was when both DLLs were built with Intel V8. Now DLL2 is built with Intel V11.1 and this no longer works (DLL2 writes to FORT.36 where 36 is the unit number). DLL1 is still built with Intel v8.

Is this expected? Is there any way to get around it bearing in mind DLL1 is not ours?

Both DLLs must be linked to the same set of DLL run-time libraries. My guess is that one or both of the DLLs is linked to the static libraries.

That's it! We had dynamic before now static. So I guess the Intel version differences won't be a problem if I make both dynamic?

No problem as long as the run-time DLLs you're using are the higher version.
