I tried installing b13 just in case I'd done something nasty but for this one session its still prompting for LIBEAY32.dll. Dropping LIBEAY32.dll into the directory with EDBMgr.exe make it shut up but that's not the right way to cure it.

There's nothing in the D6 app doing the data conversion that, but I altered it back to how it was, removed the two ssl dlls from the directory where the conversion code was and finally removed the dlls from the directory where the catalog was.

The last sorted it. I think I now understand the problem (or part of it). EDBManager is trying to load any dll in the directory where the catalog is looking for external functions etc. Its finding a number of them including these two:

libeay32.dll
libssl32.dll

All the others are duplicated in the directory with EDBMgr.exe (C:\3rdParty\EDBUtils\utils\edbmgr\) as well as the catalog (E:\HH Dev\TfR)

Does this sound like a probable cause?

Roy,

Yes, and it's something on the list to be addressed, most likely with a
REGISTER MODULE type of statement that will specifically allow you to
register certain .DLLs as EDB external modules so that EDB will stop trying
to interrogate every DLL to see if it is a valid EDB external module.

Good, at least its one less mystery.

Can I put in a plea again to have the full path for the dlls so we only need one copy floating around. I know you were against it last time but since you're revisiting this area maybe the thought can enter the process?

Sure, if the external modules are registered, then they won't need to be in
a specific location anymore.
