Thanx bob...I knew that! <g> But I finally figured it out when I found a post on yet another server where the same problem was encountered. Originally one of the text files that came with the install said I needed to also move an msg file into the same directory, but then in the course of trying to figure other things out I was told I didn't need to move any of the DLLs for embedded, that they would be found in their installation folder. Later still when I moved the fbembed.dll back alongside my app I didn't move the msg file with it and thus the problem!

Actually, when a DLL cannot be loaded because another DLL (one which is needed by the first one) cannot be found, then you can get a similar error message. Windows is often confusing errors re "finding" and "loading" the DLL (and its error messages). This knowledge doesn't really help you, of course ;-) Groetjes, Bob Swart -- Bob Swart Training & Consultancy (eBob42.com) Forever Loyal to Delphi Blog: http://www.drbob42.com/blog - RSS: http://drbob42.com/weblog.xml New Delphi 2006 Courseware e-books at http://www.eBob42.com/courseware _______________________________________________ Delphi-DB mailing list Delphi-DB@elists.org http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-db _______________________________________________ Delphi-DB mailing list Delphi-DB@elists.org http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-db
