Albert, Yep - I typed it just as shown. That is the way it is in the doc's. However, I did try your way and the reload worked. However, I still can't 'design' the app in the new folder (I moved the app over). I'm still getting an error message, a new one, -ERROR- Unable to connect the requested database CNUMB (7). CNUMB is a column in a table. I'll let everyone know how I make out.
