Ben, The type of problem you describe is not one that has a clear cut answer because there are so many possibilities. Any suggestions you might get would simply be a guess. The interface between Atlas and DXbase was designed through a software technique referred to as com-objects. A fancy way of saying that Atlas installs some software and registry entries so that other applications can "know" about it on a given machine. DXbase has code that tries to access this info and provide an interface. There is a user option screen in DXbase where you tell DXbase about the version of Atlas being used because it is necessary for DXbase to make the correct interface since some versions of Atlas were different. If that is set correctly, then we are left with a few possibilities. One is hardware trouble where you have some hard drive or memory problems going on. Another is that Atlas or DXbase installations are not working correctly possibly due to bad installations, corrupt sectors on the hard drive, etc... Could also be as simple as your machine is running out of memory. Could also be that you have some other software running on your machine that is not compatible with Atlas and DXbase running together. Sorry there is no crystal ball to tell you what to do or what is wrong. But maybe this helps you understand the wide range of possibilities. The good news however is that there seem to be a lot of others who use Atlas and DXbase without trouble. In fact, seems you are the only one having a problem judging from the reflector posts. So, at least you know that it is possible to run them both if your machine is in good running order and both applications are properly installed and options set correctly. Good luck.
