Is there a way to specify a path with static DLL loading?

[Matthew Carter]

I can specify the path for a dynamically loaded DLL by specifying the path in a LoadLibrary call like this:

hDll = LoadLibrary("C:\\Path\\dll.dll");

Is there a way to similarly hard-code the path of an individual DLL when I link with .lib files instead of using LoadLibrary?

I'm using VC++ 5.0 on Windows 98.
