>Export (.EXP) files contain information about exported
functions and data items. When LIB creates an import
library, it also creates an .EXP file. You use the .EXP
file when you link a program that both exports to and
imports from another program, either directly or
indirectly. If you link with an .EXP file, LINK does not
produce an import library, because it assumes that LIB
already created one. For details about .EXP files and
import libraries, see Working with Import Libraries and
Export Files.
You can use LIB with the /DEF option to create an import
library and an export file. LINK uses the export file to
build a program that contains exports (usually a dynamic-
link library (DLL)), and it uses the import library to
resolve references to those exports in other programs.

In most situations, you do not need to use LIB to create
your import library. When you link a program (either an
executable file or a DLL) that contains exports, LINK
automatically creates an import library that describes
the exports. Later, when you link a program that
references those exports, you specify the import library.

However, when a DLL exports to a program that it also
imports from, whether directly or indirectly, you must
use LIB to create one of the import libraries. When LIB
creates an import library, it also creates an export
file. You must use the export file when linking one of
the DLLs.
Use Outlook's Import feature.
