Just upgraded the server from 2.03 Build 21 to 2.04 Build 4, with Delphi 7

When I tried calling my external modules, I got the following.

ElevateDB Error #401 The module extmoduleABC does not exist in the
configuration EDBConfig

I recompiled my external module and placed the new dll copy and rerun the
server, but still I get above error.  I tried searching support threads for
the past hour about this, but can't find related issues yet.  The external
module is located in the directory as specified  in Configuration -> File
Folder.  I just actually replaced my old (2.03) edbsrvr with the new edbsrvr
(2.04b4).  What is wrong with my setup?

Thanks,
G Patena

2.03 and older automatically registered the external modules, but starting
with 2.04 you have to manage the external module registration yourself.   So
check the configuration.modules table to see if the module is registered
when starting your application or after making the connection to the server.
If the module isn't present, use the CREATE MODULE statement to register it
with the server and you should be good to go.

.... ah progress,  but it is well worth it to give more  time to edb
developers for more goodies and cool features  in upcoming builds ....

Thanks, Terry ... that was quick and easy.  I hope I don't need to do that
the next time I migrate a DBISAM4  table using the external migrator-- but
it is ok now that I know the solution.

No, once an external module is registered with CREATE MODULE, it will stay
registered in the configuration file until you unregister it (DROP MODULE).

The whole process of module registration was done to eliminate any issues
with EDB trying to load DLLs in the configuration path that weren't EDB
external modules, which also improves the startup performance for sessions.
