Thanks andrew, Can the libraries be dynamically linked. I'm not using any special libraries just thestandard c++ builder libraries. I'm guessing these are vcl and clx (These are the libraries I was looking libraries I was looking for redistributables for (ie .msm files)).

As you can probably guess I'm swapping over from MFC, There is a very usefull tool in MFC called TRACE, is there a tool in C++ Builder like this.

PS, I'm using C++Builder 6. Because I like the idea of haveing to compile code for windows, linux and unix (I don't think this can be done using visual studio). Have you seen CBuilderX yet? What a load of tripe. A java GUI is hard to gut being a C+ developer. Also I noticed the CLX libraries have dissaperared. What a shame. And the new cross platform library borland use wxWindows. I couldn't even find the option that creates a wxWindow project from the object galary.

Dynamic linking by leaving Packages/BuildWithRuntimePackages ticked, but I can't remember offhand which you need. The help tels you, though.
