I follwed the steps described at
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_VCExpress.php#CreateProject

when I try to load the custom study then it shows up but it does not show the function within the dll so the "Add" button is grayed out as attached. It looks as if the function entries were not recognized.

What's the reason that the list of the function within the dll isn't showing up?

This is ATChart ver 1013 (modified the .h ver def to 1013 etc didn't have any effect neither).

What is the name of the study function?

Also make sure you have SCDLLName("Name") at the top of the source code file.

We just noticed the bottom of the image you posted. You need to update to the latest version of Sierra Chart. You are running an older version.

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I do have the SCDLLName("Name") in the code.
I am using the ATCharts from TransAct and it is the latest version.

From what I understand, the version is not correct so it is rejected? Is the application is rejecting the ACS because it was compiled for a higher version? I modified the version # definition in sierrachart.h but didn't see any change.
