Dave thanks for the help, it appears that DXbase ignores any path

I created a directory /callbk at the root of the drive and unpacked the 
downloaded database there

that works

moving the callbk directory to
/QRZ/callbk

and adding /QRZ (or /QRZ/ ) as the path does not work

something is broken here ;-)

However having /callbk at the root of the drive works
Incidentally the Full installer from qrz.com's download installs the 
software AND database in program Files so for these folks they are goign 
to have to move the databse directory to the root of the drive then 
reconfigure the QRZ.com supplied application to find the new location

Good to finally get it working though

Next a DLL to use the live XML feed would be nice ;-)
