Hi Wes, Thanks for that! I was not aware of that path and folder and my .MDB file lives there also! I am in the process of restoring from Carbonite server to that directory so we will see what happens. I know that the data is on the server, several copies of it, so I'll keep plugging away at it.

Vista puts things where it wants to put them and not necessarily where you think they should be. For example, my .mdb on my Vista machine is here: C:\Users\Wes\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\DXbase 2005 If you restored your .mdb to the DXbase location in Program Files, that's probably the issue. For your sake, I hope I'm right :-) Wes Arnie, I am also using Carbonite and it is very slick. I am in the process of trying to get the .mdb file back into the correct folder. I put it, restored it from Carbonite into the DXB directory but it won't refresh my log data.yet. I'm still working on it. I know the data is there so I am doing something not right with the restore. I wonder if I can use MS Access to at least see the data. Jack may have a solution. 73, Jon K6EL LA3LJ wrote>> Jon, For backing up my XP pc I use both a USB hard drive and Internet backup. The Internet backup is done online by www.carbonite.com and costs about $50 per year. That is a small price to pay for a safe backup of critical data. Just install the small Carbonite application program on your pc and select which folders to back up. Then the Carbonite application backs up your critical data to a safe site on the Internet, continuously, in the background. I hardly notice it's there. I have set it to back up all my documents, photos and databases, including DXbase2005, DXbase2006, Writelog, N1MM, email data, and more. Presently my backup on the Internet contains 14.2GB in 21,933 files. If my house burns down and all my local backup media are gone, I still have the important data available on a server on the Internet. Additionally I can make a full restore of my PC from an "image" on a USB hard drive. 73 Arnie LA3LJ Regards, Jon Casamajor [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
