Razzak, That was my next planned step after making sure V8 was clean. Because conversion is required, I thought there was a difference in V8 vs. V9 unload structures. V9 reading V8 unloads idea fell into the 'give it a shot, nothing to lose' option (undocumented feature?) as a fall back plan if nothing else worked. Thanks.

Tom, The BEST approach to upgrade from Turbo V-8 to R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) is to first UNLOAD the entire database, and then use that file to let R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) build a fresh database for you. Here's how: 01. Start R:BASE Turbo V-8 and CONNect to the database 02. At the R> Prompt OUTPUT dbname.ALL UNLOAD ALL OUTPUT SCREEN DISCONNECT RENAME dbname.RX? dbname_bkp.RX? EXIT 03. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) Build: 9.0.1.11111 or higher and switch the folder to the same directory as in Step 02. 04. At the R> Prompt: SET FEEDBACK ON RUN dbname.ALL CLS SET FEEDBACK OFF This will create a fresh database for R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64). During the build process, make sure to watch for -ERRORs-, if any. If prompted, abort the process, and correct all -ERROR-s in the original V-8 database, using Turbo V-8. Technically, repeating the Step 04 using R:BASE Turbo V-8 should also generate the same -ERRORs-, if any. DISCONNECT DELETE dbname.RX? RUN dbname.ALL Hope that helps! Very Best R:egards, Razzak. P.S.
