    <p>I'm doing some maintenance on some software originally built by my predecessor at the company (who has since moved on to greener pastures). I'm currently rolling out a new version of the software.</p> <p>At this company, the installation procedure is basically to just shove the /bin/Release directory out into our automated program updater's magic directory, allowing it to automatically copy the contents of that directory over to the local /Program Files/ and let the magic happen. The magic always seems to happen, so there's no big issue, there, although it does weird me out somewhat, after many years of .msi installers...</p> <p>Anyway, rolling out the new software went fine on two of our file servers, but rolling it out into the third and final location went a bit differently.</p> <p>The third section of the company doesn't use the auto-rollout software. They all use Windows' Remote Desktop Connection software to run software directly on the server.</p> <p>So I go along to the server, check that the current version is working (which it is), back it up, etc. then copy the exact same software which works just fine on all of our other machines.</p> <p>The new software now fails to play nice with the third-party libraries it's using (Crystal Reports and IBM Informix integration), even though those libraries are installed in the same location, and at the same version, on all of the PCs, the development machine included.</p> <p>The old version of the software accessed the exact same external libraries and it worked fine. There's no special build configuration for the terminal server, either, as far as I can tell.</p> <p>Can anyone think why these DLLs would now no longer being accessed correctly by the program? I've tried copying the program on the server <em>back</em> to my PC and it works fine. I just can't see that this is directly related to the Crystal Reports or Informix connectivity software, but I can't see what on earth it might actually be.</p> <p>EDIT: Attempting to follow 0xA3's suggestion, I tried to switch the target platform of the application, and discovered some usercontrol DLLs, which are referenced by the program. I'm currently trying to recreate these components, because changing the target platform stops the DLLs from working.</p>

    1. COCan you define "fails to play nice"? Could you be more specific?

    2. COOh, sorry. Crystal Reports itself raises a Crystal Reports dialog to tell me that there's some kind of problem (it's not particularly specific) and the Informix thing just throws an exception and dies.

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.
