Query regarding midas.dll file

[CHeighlund]

I'm having some trouble with a program my predecessor wrote. Attempts to click on one of the tabs in a tabsheet calls up an error message "Error loading MIDAS.DLL". Although the form does then come up, any attempt to do anything on that tabsheet generates an error. I have tried to trace through the code, but the error appears to be instantaneous upon hitting that tab.

The only components on the tab in question are a label and a pair of TDBGrids. However, the grid datasources reference TClientDataSet components elsewhere in the program - from what I've managed to read on it, I think this is where the midas.dll blowup is occuring.

There is a copy of midas.dll sitting in the same directory as the program. Does anyone know what I need to do to actually get the program to recognize the file? Also, the file has been set inside a repository - is it possible this has damaged the dll file in some way?

Do you have a copy of the executable created by your predecessor? You could open it with Dependency Walker to see what's required. Dependency Walker will also tell you if the MIDAS.DLL is valid.
