ah, thanks David!
That solves the problem nicely.
Kinda weird how loading the file when IDL opens gets
around that though.
Cheers,

I'm no expert in this area, but typically for DLMs or DLLs to
be found automatically, they have to be in the IDL bin directory.
If they are not, they can be pointed to with the !DLM_PATH system
variable.

You have IDLDE set to "change directory on open" and IDL searches the
local directory, then the DLM_PATH for your .dlm.
So if you open your file up in IDLDE, the local directory is changed to
the directory containing your .dlm and IDL finds it. If you compile
your file from the command line your local directory is unchanged and
IDL can't find your .dlm.
