Your previous posts indicated you were looking for the HP8563A drivers, but IDNET did not have them. Where did you get the drivers? Can you  provide a link?

http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=047150BB30A857EAE0440003BA7CCD... this is the link of the driver it's know also as the Agilent 856X series

That driver doesn't have a HP8563a_SpecA VI in it.

No but all the VI inside the driver package can control the HP 8563a spec A, i'm just wondering why when i build the dll from lets say the Configure Span....Query amplitude and etc... i get the error message stated above

Because as the error description states, some of the control/indicator names are illegal and some of the data types (i.e VISA Resource) are not valid C data types. You can clean up the names and replace the VISA resource controls/indicators with strings.
