Bill, The box that I had the problem on is running Windows 2000 server with IIS running. Note: when we uninstalled Rbase 7.0 using Windows Add and Remove wizard, the Rbengine.dll file still remained in the c:\winnt\system32 folder. I just created an ODBC datasource on another window 2000 server that has the Rbengine.dll file from the RBG7_Release_Version.zip file without any problems except I can't export to dBase using the Gateway wizard.

It is also apparently not a Borland Database Engine issue. The BDE is installed by RBG7 in order to allow the Gateway/Import/Export process to work with DBF and Paradox formats. But I did a test uninstall/install of RBG7 with a custom choice to NOT install BDE, and still had exactly the same problem. As I said before, RBTI is aware of the problem, so you know something will be done. Here are some seemingly random questions: Thom, Oma, Ted, Mike, Brian and any others who see this problem: Is IIS installed on the computer that shows the problem? Could there be some security registry setting getting flipped that disables browsing of data sources? Is there any body running XP and who installed RBG7 from the full installer who does NOT see this problem? To test, go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Data Sources and try to create a new System DSN. It does not have to be an R:Base data source, it could be using any driver. After you configure your data source, does it appear on the list in the Windows ODBC Administrator? Bill Bill
