I have checked all the application, reversed the order of uses etc. I decided to call Microsoft. After all, the Technet+ exists... Microsoft support : "What's the language that you use ?" - Delphi. - How do you say ? Del... Could you spell it please ? - !!!!!! Gr...... (Thanks to all my friends of the technical support. I think how my clients would be satisfied by such answers from me !) ... and after 2 hours the engineer said: "it's a problem with Delphi. Even if you have problems with Microsoft development products (I 'think' that we could with VB or macros !!!) we can't provide any support ! Thank you for calling !" Luck today, I just discovered a fantastic tool called 'Eurekalog'. (I have to specify that I am not linked to this company in any way) I dowloaded the trial version and after minutes or seconds, I discovered came from the MAPI32.dll and determined that entry points that Delphi "mapi.pas" uses are no more present in the new MAPI32.dll on SBS, resulting to a crash. I am amazed by this tool because the problem arrived even before the Initialization call and had no way to trace the events. (Of course, I have registered the product by now !). My next step was to override the mapi32.dll with the one of XP and all was solved. But, of course, I'm not satisfied by this brutal workaround. Does anyone have a better solution to accept this new dll ? Thanks to all.

Which entry points were missing? Perhaps it would be a better solution to uncomment these in the mapi.pas file (so you could fix it at the Delphi RTL/VCL source code level, and not at the OS binary level ...

I have D& app. which, as far as I know, does not use the mapi.dll, but ti will not start on SBS 2003. Sa soon as you start it, it crashes with an application error. It only happens on certain machines, and there does not appear to be a pattern. For instance, I have tested it on twp machines running 2003 Std Edition, SP 1 and it crashes on one, and runs on the other. I have also tested it on SBS 2003 Premium Edition and it runs just fine. Does anybody ahve any ideas? Regards, Norman "Marcel" <m.fondacci (AT) 4gl (DOT) fr> wrote: Quote: Hello, After a lot of days, no trivial solution...
