I wrote a DLL in BCB 6 Enterprise which uses the VCL (e.g. ADO, Indy,
etc.). This DLL should be included into a special industrial testing
software. When I do so, in the testing software an exception occurs
(floating divide by zero).

I tried to deactivate all function calls of my DLL, only "LoadLibrary"
is executed. The error is already there. The manufacturer of the
testing software says that my DLL allocates memory when it loads. A
part of memory which is used by the testing software seems to be
overwritten by loading my DLL.

I tried to change the image base adress in project options from
0x00400000 to 0x40000000 or 0x60000000, but it did't take an effect.

Is ist possible to tell C++ Builder to allocate memory at another
adress?

Do you have an idea to solve this problem?

Thank you very much for yur help!
