The ABBLDEXP.TPW template generates entries for them in data DLL EXP file because it's the place ABC library is exporting from. If 3rd party class libraries are not provided with sources, i.e. they available as DLLs, they will not be compiled and as result the linker can't resolve names listed in the EXP file. 2 solutions are available: 1) If the class library is supplied with ????L.LIB file (with library code compiled and linked in local mode), this file must be added to the data DLL project file. Perhaps, some plays with values of flags used in LINK() and DLL() attributes of 3rd party classes are required. 2) ABBLDEXP.TPW file could be changed to exclude export of 3rd party classes. Look for ";Start of TopSpeed ABC library exports" text in the TPW file to find a place where ABC classes export is generating.
