Hello Peopel!!!!

I have a problem with a definiton. I have defined a form, in dll, then i had to include the file in the same form, after compiling i'm getting worning Public symbol '_DllCustomers' defined in both module CUSTOMERDLL.OBJ and CUSTOMERFORM.OBJ

here is the code

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//CUSTOMERDLL.CPP
#include <vcl.h>
#include <windows.h>
#pragma hdrstop

#pragma argsused
#include "customerdll.h"
int WINAPI DllEntryPoint(HINSTANCE hinst, unsigned long reason, void* lpReserved)
{
	return 1;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __stdcall CreateCustomer(TComponent* Owner)
{
	DllCustomer = new TCustomerF (Owner);
	DllCustomer->ShowModal();
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------


void __fastcall Search (AnsiString NameP, AnsiString FieldP, TIBTable* Table)
 {

	TLocateOptions Opts;
	Opts.Clear();
	Opts << loPartialKey;
	Opts << loCaseInsensitive;
Table->Locate(FieldP,NameP, Opts );
 Table->IndexFieldNames=FieldP;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try with these changes

//CUSTOMERDLL.H
#ifndef DllH
#define DllH
#include "customerForm.h"
extern TCustomerF* DllCustomer;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall Search (AnsiString, AnsiString, TIBTable*);
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall void CreateCustomer(TComponent *Owner);
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
#endif

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//CUSTOMERDLL.CPP
#include <vcl.h>
#include <windows.h>
#pragma hdrstop

#pragma argsused
#include "customerdll.h"

TCustomerF* DllCustomer = NULL;

int WINAPI DllEntryPoint(HINSTANCE hinst, unsigned long reason, void* lpReserved)
{
	return 1;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __stdcall CreateCustomer(TComponent* Owner)
{
	DllCustomer = new TCustomerF (Owner);
	DllCustomer->ShowModal();
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------


void __fastcall Search (AnsiString NameP, AnsiString FieldP, TIBTable* Table)
 {

	TLocateOptions Opts;
	Opts.Clear();
	Opts << loPartialKey;
	Opts << loCaseInsensitive;
Table->Locate(FieldP,NameP, Opts );
 Table->IndexFieldNames=FieldP;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try reading up on usage of extern , once you get the idea of it, you might reorganize the code a bit (you already have one extern TCustomerF* declaration there but it seems that you are not using it)
