Are your database files in the same directory as all the Rbase program files? If they are not then what you are seeing may be similar to a problem I had with our Rbase 2.11 when we "upgraded" from Win 98 to Win XP. I solved our problem by copying the MSG and HLP files to the directory with the database files.
