Xdot

[omni]

Roger,

What exactly is needed in a working folder for xdot to open files. I am able to run my app with my list of dll files needed, but xdot gives me errors...says all the ch files have to be loaded in that folder, but even if I copy all ch file to test that theory, it still does not work unless I have the standard express and alaska folders in my path. I do not have those folders available all the time where our app is installed, but need to view and manipulate data.

the error does not occur until I try to actually open a database. (ie, use custfile)

Thanks,

Fred

The preprocessor does not get loaded until you enter your first dot-prompt command.
When it does, the following DLLs must be in your path:

xpppp.dll
xppcfe.dll
xpperr.dll
xppgen.dll

That gave me an error 126 loading xpppp.dll. So I just copied all xpp files from alaska's bin folder. and then it worked. There must have been one other one missing(?).

Thanks
