Location of .dll ? path doesn't work now...

According to your faq. the driver .dll should available "through" the system path - like described below.


The dbexp*.dll file is the driver itself. This file should be located in any folder accessible for your application written with its use. When you deploy your application, copy dexp*.dll to a directory included into the PATH system variable, or to the directory with your application.
The full name of the dexp*.dll file depends on your driver, and your IDE.


However now I can only get my MySql driver to work if it is in same catalogue as my app or in "c:\windows\system".

The Microsoft Sql driver does _not_ have this problem.

maybe I have made a blunder - but could you please check/comment on this.

thanks in advance
Christian

As I suspected I made a blunder - now it works, at least on another computer...
