Subj : Re: BC++ 5.01 can't find BIVBX30.dll To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : Sam Date : Thu Sep 08 2005 10:24 pm Thank you Ed and Mohsen, Copying the Winnt folder contents actually fixed it. It let all my dialogues, etc work but at first I couldnt see my toolbar but found it under the options|environment menu. It apparently isn't visible by default. I had to dig through the menus to find it :(. In any case, it apparently is working. Thanks to both of you.
