Adding the name of the file into the start in property of the shortcut results in a "not valid" error from windows. Whether I start the shortcut in C:\RBTI\RBG91_64 or in C:\cramdat, the outcome is that RBG9.1 opens with no connection to any database. BUT - when traced, the same exact files result in the form opening as expected. tom Again, the initial post was... Good Morning, All weekend I have been pulling my hair out over simply getting started in 9.1. I have updated my database and am trying to launch RBase into a menu form (as I had in earlier editions of the database), with little success. I am pretty sure it is one of two things - #1 I'm an idiot who is overlooking something obvious, or #2 this is not a valid option. When running trace on my dat file with RB9.1 64 already open, the file executes as expected. When ran from a shortcut, or directly as a stand alone file, RBase launches, but doesn't connect to the database or launch my form. If anyone could see something wrong with the code...and is willing to suggest what my error is, it'd put Monday off onto a better foot. For the purposes of working, the database "CRAMData" lives in C:\cramdat The shortcut on the desktop correctly starts in the folder containing RBG91_64.exe and specifies to start in "C:\cramdat" The .dat file (basically the same as used for 7.6) in the folder specifies: " CHDRV C: CHDIR \cramdat SET QUOTES='''' SET VAR vtemp TEXT = NULL SET VAR vtemp = (ENVVAL('TEMP')) IF vtemp IS NOT NULL THEN SET SCRATCH .vtemp ELSE SET SCRATCH OFF ENDIF PROPERTY application TITLE 'CRAM Database' CONNECT cramdata IDENTIFIED BY NONE QUIT TO micordstart9.rmd EXIT RETURN" It then quits in micordstart9.rmd which specifies: " SET VAR vbuild TEXT = (CVAL('BUILD')) IF vbuild NOT = '9.1.5.20103' THEN CLS PAUSE 2 USING 'MUST have current RBG9.1 Update installed to continue!' + CAPTION ' County Road Association of Michigan!'
