DLLs - can I find out what programs use a dll?

[jimct]

I know there are programs that will tell you what DLLs are being used by a running process, but is there any way of working in reverse?

What I want to do is to start with the name of a dll, and find out what programs invoke it.

Any ideas? I'm trying to clear some doubts I have about dll versions on my machine, and want to identify the different programs that use a dll.

I don't know of such a utility, but I imagine someone clever has probably written one. A good place to look might be the System Utilities section at download.com

This is the closest i've seen so far:

check out the info on "import checker" - especially the bullets.

I had to fiddle with the configuration a bit.
and the results are real busy.

good luck
