I'm not sure what the language rules are, but I'd suspect that a DLL would not re-elaborate every time another program started up and called for its services. Maybe under some conditions (separate data spaces) but not if it was some sort of shared resource. Or would it? Interesting question - maybe I'll have to look up "Elaboration" tomorrow if nobody posts an answer before I get back to work. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Ted Dennison" wrote in message news:MJTQ6.4332$rn5.225402@www.newsranger.com... > He said every time the *program* is run, which is quite correct.
