Could not load external 'DexIsODBCsqlDriver@GPDWIN32.dll'

David Meego - Click for blog homepageA little while ago I downloaded and installed the RTM (Released to Manufacturing) build of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010. After installing GP and Dexterity I started on the process of updating my Dexterity projects to use the RTM build of Dynamics.dic (build 11.00.1247) and Dexterity (build 11.00.0218.000).

After updating from the Visual SourceSafe (VSS) repository (while using the index file) and recompiling, I pressed Ctrl-T to go into Test Mode and received the following error:

Unhandled script exception:
Could not load external 'DexIsODBCsqlDriver@GPDWIN32.dll'

Here is a screenshot of the error dialog:

GPDWIN32.dll Error

The solution to this error is fairly simple, copy the missing GPDWIN32.dll from the Dynamics GP application folder to the Dexterity folder.  Once the file has been copied, Dexterity Test Mode works again.

This file is not actually part of the Dexterity system, but is called by the Dynamics GP application and so needs to be available when activating Test Mode.
