<DIV>Hi Tony:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are you suggesting that when the program is built standalone it maps libraries differently? I know there is a difference between dynamic vs. static libraries, but are you suggesting that a different library is being mapped than the vendor's equivalent of the dynamic library? How would I check for this situation?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your suggestion seems plausible since the source is not recompiled; instead, the linker is used to change the way the EXE is put together and that seems to cause the difference in operation as far as pixmaps are concerned.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
