Martin, You did it. By executing the NLNOTES.EXE program instead of the NOTES.EXE module corrected all my problems with this install. I appreciate very much the help you provided as well as the offer of help I received from Joe Lanier. I am curious to know how you knew to try this, it would never have occurred to me.
