I would caution the use of the word "start" in a dat. I compiled a mac with "start.mac" and could not run the exe. I have since renamed anything with start!!!any.&&& just for that reason. I did not want to do that mistake again. I never posted or asked if it was a reserved word in compiler. I just renamed the file and it worked so I figure that was the error. Just my .02

At 07:42 AM 5/8/2008, you wrote: Dan, Create two icons pointing to your R:BASE executable. Each will use a command-line argument like this: C:\RBTI\RBG76\RBG76.EXE startup1.dat . where "startup1.dat" contains the code to change to the appropriate folder, connect the database and start your application. You can name this file whatever you wish, and the other application would of course have a different filename for the startup. Examples of such dat files can be found in the samples folder that gets installed with R:BASE. See, for instance, c:\rbti\rbg76\samples\rrbwy14\rrbyw14.dat.
