illegal operation with EXE application

[tazforcenz]

Can anyone please give me an idea on what's causing the illegal operation errors.

The developer wrote the application using BCB 5 Pro on a Win98SE machine and I'm trying to release the EXE to a client's standalone machine. When compiling the EXE, I initially used the defaults on Project->Options but this led to some missing DLLs the application required. I then unchecked both "Use dynamic RTL" and "Build with runtime packages" options and re-compiled the project. When I run the EXE on the client's machine, it comes up with 3 illegal operation errors.

TEST caused an exception eedfadeH in module TEST.EXE at 0157:004a3cb2
TEST caused an exception eedfadeH in module TEST.EXE at 0167:004a3cb2
TEST caused an exception c0000026H in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bffb87c8.

The application connects by ODBC to an Access 2000 database and only works if BCB is installed on the client's machine. I am new to BCB and appreciate some assistance.

Thanks

The only way to understand what happens, is trace the program...
Or you can use debugger SoftIce (if you know assembler).

Is the app trying to use BDE? Is that installed on the client machine?

All it needed was to have BDE installed. Thanks James for the suggestion.
