    <p>I need to reliably redirect an applications look up of a specific DLL. Using the app.exe.local approach does not work because local files are ignored if the application has a manifest (embedded or separate file). So I am trying to do DLL redirection by defining the DLL as a private assembly in the manifests.</p> <p>I have a test application, LoadDll.exe which simply calls</p> <pre><code>LoadLibrary("C:\\EmptyDll.dll"); </code></pre> <p>The LoadDll.exe has the manifest (as a separate file, LoadDll.exe.manifest)</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"&gt; &lt;assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.1" processorArchitecture="x86" name="LoadDll" type="win32" /&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;dependentAssembly&gt; &lt;assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="EmptyDll" version="1.0.0.1" processorArchitecture="x86" /&gt; &lt;/dependentAssembly&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;/assembly&gt; </code></pre> <p>The Application folder containing LoadDll.exe (NOT c:\) contains the EmptyDll.dll with the embedded manifest.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?&gt; &lt;assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'&gt; &lt;assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="EmptyDll" version="1.0.0.1" processorArchitecture="x86" /&gt; &lt;/assembly&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, LoadDll.exe goes ahead and loads C:\EmptyDll.dll, and not the EmptyDll.dll in the application folder.</p> <p>If you break either manifest (e.g. change the version number in the EmptyDll.dll manifest identity), LoadDll.exe does not load, so the manifest files are being read and processed by windows, but just ignored.</p> <p>Anyone got any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Toby</p>

    2. COUnfortunately there is. And even if there wasn't, recompiling the exe is not an option.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
