>FWIW, we distribute them in the installation directory. Unless you put them there or in the [SystemFolder] then you aren't assured that your applicaton can find it using a search path. And it appears from your message that not all users will have admin rights when they install your app so that leaves one logical place, IMO.I see your point. In fact, the end users for this will be in Banks, and they are not the most trusting entities on what goes in their users PCs {g}. So I'm stuck with install dir, even though I don't particularly like to see DLLs there (my quirk as I said {g})
Thx.
