I have tried this, and it works as far as I can see now. I had to start Notepad and open mycall.reg from there. Saving it in the DXBase directory will not work, so I had to save it in a document folder. I named it mycall_64.reg. From there it was a piece of cake, just doubleclick on the file and voila! To those confused: I use the 2006 version, not 2007. Thanks, Joe and Jack!
After downloading Microsoft files to get the Help work, I still get an error message when activating Help: Problem runnung macro (1037). Not a big problem as long as I can use the Help-function, but still I would like to eliminate it... 73 de Knut LA9RY ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack" <[email protected]> To: "Knut Meland" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 1:29 PM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] DXBase2006 on Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bits > Knut, > > I do not have version 2006 of DXbase around but this is how to solve the > problem in 2007.
