DLLs used in FE

[Pat]

Do the referenced DLLs need to be on the PCs where all FEs reside?

Or do the DLLs need to be only on the PC where the development is done, ie where the compile is done?

[HansV]

If you set references in Tools | References... or if you declare Windows API functions at the top of a module, the referenced .dll (or .ocx) files need to be installed and registered on each PC on which the frontend is run.

Does the same apply when the FE is compiled and made into an MDE?

[HansV]

Yes - externally referenced DLLs are *not* included in an .mde, so they need to be present on the PC from which the .mde is run.

Thank you Hans
