738	1998-11-06 07:45:00	A friend's computer (Compaq Pentium Pro, Win95) crashed recently, necessitating a complete hard drive wipe and re-installation of Win95. While trying to re-install a (compiled) Microsoft Access database, the setup program would install the database all the way up to the last disk, when it would say: 'PROGRAM ERROR: Your program is making an invalid dynamic link call to a .dll file.' (Trying to run Corel Timeline produces the same message. Both were running fine before the crash.) He has Microsoft Access, so I tried to open the data file that seemed to have installed ok, but Access said, 'There are calls to 16-bit dynamic libraries (.dll) in modules in this database. These won't work under Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT. Change your code to call equivalent 32-bit dynamic link libraries (.dll).' What do these messages mean? Is there a corrupted .dll file? If so, how would I isolate it? Thanks, Paul.	Guest (0)
