Masita,

It is really strange. Please do a search on the computer that fails, to check if there is another copy of the resources DLL.

You could avoid this problem by adding the resource compiler to your LNK-file.

What do you have to do :

1. Open your DLL-files with Workshop and save them as RES-files.
2. Re-open your RES-files and save them with the same name (you need to this otherwisse you'll get an error "unable to create dialogbox").
3. Add the resource compiler into your LNK-file. Do it like this :

-----------------
OUTPUT YOUR_APPLICATION.EXE

BLINKER INCREMENTAL OFF
BLINKER CLIPPER SYMBOL OFF
BLINKER EXECUTABLE ALIGNMENT 128

PACKCODE
PACKDATA

FI YOUR_PRG-files

LIB YOUR_LIB's

4. Add a rc-line for each RES-file
5. Compile and link your application.

By doing this, you'll avoid a wrong DLL-file to be used.

Good luck.
