I assume you mean the FORMS45_PATH in the registry...

The problem is probably in your paths, as you have surmised. What is probably happening is that one or more of the PLLs reference another PLL/PLX that is not in directory in the FORMS45_PATH, but is in the local directory when you compile it in Forms. It seems to me that the local path changes when you open a module, so look carefully. When you are looking make sure you have PLLs AND PLXs. That bit me last week - I copied all the PLXs in the directory to the staging area, but the app did not work because the source area had a PLL, but no corresponding PLX. The "missing" PLX was never copied to the staging area. Once the PLX was generated and copied, all was fine.

One way to test this is to take the working directories out of the FORM45_PATH, and copy the FMB somewhere else.The ideal place would be the production directory. When you open it, you will get a message about "couldn't open attached library". Check the names of each of them until you find the missing one.

Hope this helps
