Two exe in one multi dll solution

This is a how to.
I have a solution, with a data dll, 12 other dll’s and one exe. I want to ad an exe to this solution, which can call all the dll’s including the data dll. How to?

Well, I have a solution with 8 dll’s and 5 exe’s. All of them use data dll and some other dll’a as needed. Some dll’s call procedures from other dll’s . The only catch is the compilation order, you have to compile dll’s that export procedures before you compile ones that use them, otherwise you cannot build your solution in one go.
Not sure what the problem is, you simply add data dll and other dll’s as external modules.
her is my exe procedure view - it only has a pulldown menu procedure all the others are called from dll

So you just need to add another app to your solution, make sure it uses the same dictionary, add external dll module same way as you do it in your primary exe and set project settings to compile exe not dll

I don’t really know, but have you tried copying your current exe App to a new App and modifying it with whatever it is that you need?

If you’re lucky the new exe should compile OK?

A complete aside here but using “save as” when the app is open to save it to a new name is a lot more effective than just copying the app…
