Yes...as per the documentation I read, I had the VB developer put the
following in his windows\system32 directory:

PBVM80.DLL
LIBJCC.DLL
PBDWE80.DLL
PBRTC80.DLL
PBODB80.DLL
PB)DB80.INI

The developer doesn't get a specific message. He does get the "canned"
Windows XP error message (Windows new GPF window) asking him to send details
to Microsoft. That's it.
