When building aan exe with the project manager I get this message. Have created an ini file with reference to the BDE Alias and included it in the project file. Have also included idap32.dll from BDE map, idapi.cfg, Plus_en.dll, PlusT_EN.dll, Resource.dll and Plusrun.exe. The exe is working fine on the same computer. All files are included in the executable. See file > > Any help is highly appriciated. Don't include idapi32.dll, plus_en.dll, or plusR_en.dll -- they aren't necessary. Instead use the options to install the BDE along with the runtime which are on a different tab of the project explorer. Basically you're telling dBASE to put those files, which are currently IN USE, into an executable, which is not necessary. (You probably don't need resource.dll either, or "IDAPI.CFG", or "PLUSRun.exe" ...)
