Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    RE: missing dll's

    I found the solution to this problem in a sort of backhanded way. Since Norton Anitvirus is often found to be at the root of wierd behavior, I searched Symantec's Knowledge Base for "mprapi.dll" and got the answer for my configuration, anyway. If anyone is interested, you can do this search or use the following link. BTW, Norton is NOT the culprit.

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-gate.nsf/37b2c8a4989b899a88256dda00599189/7ae7365c4dd836a285256dcf0067461a?OpenDocument&prod=Norton%20AntiVirus&ver=2005&src=sg&pcode=nav&svy=&csm=no

    If anyone needs the file in question (iphipapi.dll), I can send it to them.

    Thanks again Lenny for following on this.

    I created the key and sub keys as per your msg. I get the same DLL error ("Error Starting Program, A required .DLL file, MPRAPI.DLL, was not found."). The error dialog box pops up immediately. There was no change in behavior.

    I have an install.log, but no a5startup.log file to send you.

    RE: missing dll's

    John, I can't tell you why they are being triggered on Windows 98. I can however assure you that Alpha Five is not calling them. Because they are network related, I can only assume that when Alpha is checking the Internet, something in your network configuration is trying to load them. That is why I suggested disabling the automtic checking.

    If there is not yet an Alpha Five 6.0 registry key, you can simply create one, then the sub keys listed above.

    If that still does not work, look in your Alpha Five program folder for a file named a5startup.log. If there is one there, please send it to me.

    RE: missing dll's

    Lenny -

    The problem is that A5v6 never gets a chance to establish ANY registry settings. It would appear that alpha5.exe does its network/internet checking by default on startup. The DLL error must occur very early in the startup procedure because nothing related to V6 is written to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree structure. All I have are "Alpha Five 4.0" and "Alpha Five 5.0".

    I mentioned in the other thread that while these DLLS most certainly are by Microsoft, they also appear related to WIN NT & related versions only (2000, XT, Server 2003). Why are they being triggered in WIN98? I've checked 3 WIN98 boxes, all patched to current, and none have these DLLs.

    RE: missing dll's

    John, as we originally told Ray, neither mprapi.dll nor samlib.dll are Alpha Five DLLs.

    They are both Microsoft DLLs and are related to networking, see http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/dlllibrary/mprapi/ and http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/dlllibrary/samlib/.

    Did you follow my instructions above which explain how to disable background checking for updates upon startup? This is the only network access Alpha Five would be doing at startup.

    RE: missing dll's

    Was this ever resolved?

    I am trying to load V6 on my laptop with WIN98SE and am getting the same missing *.dll errors which prohibit V6 from its initial loading.

    The *.dlls referenced on my ThinkPad are mprapi.dll and samlib.dll, both of which appear to be Win2000 or higher NT Windows version dlls. I can't get beyond samlib.dll because of apparent registry linkage from the dll copies I tried.

    Is V6 really compatible with WIN98?

    RE: missing dll's

    I don't see how I could have offending driver files when the error message I am getting is 'missing dll's' Especially when they are dll's that have nothing to do with your program. I tell you what. I appreciate all the help you guys have given me, but I give up. I wanted a simple to use database program for my company and this has already been more work than it should be. Maybe I will try loading it on my laptop to see if I can get better results.

    RE: missing dll's

    The registry key doesn't exist because you haven't successfully started A5 up yet. I am suggesting you have offending driver files that need to be updated because you are getting errors saying as much. Alpha 5 does not ship the dlls in question.

    RE: missing dll's

    This morning I uninstalled the program, disconnected the computer from the network, and then reinstalled the program. I got the same error messages about missing dll's. I don't understand why in one of the threads I was told to go to the registry and look for a certain registry key and when I do, that registry isn't even there. You are suggesting that I have some offending driver files. How would I know which ones they are? Everything else on my computer works.

    No, don't give up. The problem has to do with some driver files on your computer. You need to either remove the offending driver or reinstall it to make sure all the correct files are in place.

    Well, the plot thickens. I don't have the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alpha Software

    RE: missing dll's

    Ray, a quick google search will show you that these DLLs are for your router an Internet connection and are not related to Alpha Five.

    You can disable the automatic checking by going into regedit, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alpha Software\Alpha Five 6.0\preferences\internet and set the BackgroundAccess value to "Disable Background Checking" (without the quotes). See if this makes a difference.

    RE: missing dll's

    My internet is "always on". I am just looking for an easy to use database program to assist me in tracking sales/commissions for my company. Everything I read about your program is that it is just that - easy to use. It's a little unnerving though, that I am having this much trouble just opening the program. Maybe I should drop back and punt on this idea.
