Karen,
One way to see what files are being accessed is to use Process Monitor - procmon.exe. I am not sure if you have tried this, but if not, if you select the R:Base exe as the process in the filter (from the list of active processes) and look at the file activity you will soon see what R:Base is doing in regard to files. There is also a summary available which provides details of the activity.

I'm not sure if anyone would know the answer to this, but what if the database is located in a separate directory? RBase would be run from the program directory which could have many many files, connect to the database in another directory .... Karen
