Doug, Well, you certainly cannot use the IMail dll for FTP and FTP dll for IMail, that won't work (they look at different fields). Each should use its own dll.
Huh? If it works with Access, it should work with the other external DB. However, some other DB do need a rewritten dll (again, should be a KB article on mods to dll for other db like mysql). The internal db does not need or use the odbcuser.dll (it uses the registry and the products share the info about users). How about you let IMail create a db using its dll and do the same with FTP. Create the same user in both, then examine and merge the 2 databases (so all fields are now in the single new db). Now configure IMail and FTP to point to the new db and both should work. Use the db tools to add users and they should show up in both IMail and FTP. Of course, if the fields in the db for one (say, FTP) are empty, then that program might not see the user (I've not done this, so have no real world experience to go by). Same might happen if you added a user from FTP, it might not show up in IMail. (the dll for one only knows its fields) I believe you need to add data to all fields of the merged db, for user to show up in both.
