I do think Gary was probably thinking of me. I have been talking to
Epicor about this, and they sent me a "sort of related" document
which suggested comparing the workstation and Vantage server dll
files -- p2bxbse.dll and msvcp60.dll. The versions were out of
whack, so I copied the server versions to my workstation, as the
document suggested, but it did not help. One of the techs at Epicor
is working with one of my reports to try to find a solution.
I always flag the DLL's for exporting.
What about Windows hot fixes? Could that be a source of problems
with the dll's?
