We couple in superspace a dual vector multiplet (C{sub m{sub 1}}{sub ...m{sub 7}},{lambda}{sup {alpha}}) to the dual version of N=1 supergravity (e{sub m}{sup a},{psi}{sub m}{sup {alpha}},M{sub m{sub 1}}{sub ...m{sub 6}},{chi}{sub {alpha}},{phi}) in ten dimensions. The 7-form field C has its 8-form field strength H dual to the 2-form field strength F of the conventional vector multiplet. To simplify the computation, we use so-called beta-function-favored superspace constraints for dual supergravity developed for {beta}-function computations. As in a more conventional constraint set, the H-Bianchi identity must have the form N and F, where N is the 7-form field strength in dual supergravity. The potential anomaly for the dual vector multiplet can be cancelled for the particular gauge group U(1){sup 496} by the Green-Schwarz mechanism. As a by-product, we also give the globally supersymmetric Abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld interactions for the dual vector multiplet for the first time.
