Sometimes ago I played with theese function in order to have DLL in one directory and an EXE everywhere, but nope. The question is: the EXE is in the same DIR of DLL, but DLL are not seen: is there a way (that I'm missing) to make the DLL seen from an exe when the exe is launched in the described way? -- Ciao, Alessandro

Browsing is just a part of the program: if it where just browsing and modifing fields I didnt do a program > > Try it.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion -- Ciao, Alessandro

Hi Alessandro, Just a thought but could you put a dummy call to one of the functions in CATO...DLL in your app to make sure it gets linked in properly. Something similar to making a call to DELETED() in your program to ensure its visible and included so you can use it in your indexes. Maybe the functions from CATO DLL are only called by one of the other VO DLLs and thats why you dont get an error about missing DLL. This may also be rubbish!
