Thanks Guys! Blaine you got me looking in the right place...my problems stemmed from dodgy file associations.
Thomas Brix Lyng: If you have the app registered in MapInfo tools menu to autostart with MapInfo and at the same time try to run the app (Ctrl+R) form MapBasic you will get that error. Blaine Castle: When I worked in Tech Support, I seem remember a similar problem : In the settings for the file types there is a setting for the MapBasic application, that should be altered. As default the string is something like this: "C:\MAPINFO PRO\MI650\MAPINFOW.EXE" -noexec "%1" If you change it to this, note the "%1" has disappeared: "C:\MAPINFO PRO\MI650\MAPINFOW.EXE" -noexec Try changing this and see if it has a beneficial effect. Note that something like "C:\MAPINFO PRO\MI650\MAPINFOW.EXE" should be the path to your MapInfo 6.5. Cheers, Dave ---------------------------------------------- David A.
