With the most recent Win 11 update, I am suddenly getting the following operating system error message when trying to run my dBase programs:  "The code execution cannot proceed because CTL3D32.dll was not found."

The dbase program I created is an invoicing program.  It runs our small business.  It has worked wonderfully through several iterations of windows:  win7, win10, and win11 . . .until this latest win 11 upgrade.  My program simply won't start any more.

I've looked in my original dbase package which I had purchased, but I can not find the CTL3D32.dll file.  I've done a verification check and I've done a thorough search of the files on my hard drive.  CTL3D32.dll is not there.

I wonder if someone out there has a copy that would pass it on to me.  I would certainly provide some sort of reimbursement for your time.   My email address is wattron@isu.edu.
