Jim: It definitely sounds like a path problem. I believe (someone correct me if I am wrong) that the path information for 6.5++ WIN is stored in the RBASE.INI file in the WINDOWS directory and in the AUTOEXEC.BAT in the root directory, the path for the DOS version is stored in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file only. You can always redefine the path in the command file that starts R:Base as someone else suggested earlier. I seem to recall running into this problem when I was working with both versions, but since I no longer use the DOS version, it has not been an issue lately. Javier,

Yes, I have checked and multi is set to on. I have just found another quirk.. I can connect to the db with RBWin65, just not RBase DOS65.. Things are getting weird.. If I ever find this gremlin, I'm gonna squast it flat. Jim Ben Petersen wrote: > Jim, > > This is probably silly... but have you checked her "Multi" setting?
