PDB = Program DataBase No. PDB files contain debug information. It is a lot harder to debug a release build though due to compiler optimizations but the IDE still makes a pretty good go of it. Anyway, please use Dependency Walker: http://www.dependencywalker.com/ Load your release build EXE using that tool. The first level of the drill-down in the upper-left shows you what DLLs are needed to run the program. That's the information we need. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task. Stay on task. http://www.CubicleSoft.com/MyTaskFocus/
