Thanks Albert, & Javier, but I don't think your suggestions are the answer - even though I have tried them.
What has just crossed my mind after all but re-installing W98SE is that I had a problem about a week ago when another program somehow got minimised and moved outside the normal screen area. I managed to retrieve it by using the re-size option when it showed on the toolbar. Don't ask how it's possible but I could minimise and restore the program but not maximise it - something like that. If the Data dictionary was open at that same time it is possible that it is being displayed but not where I can see it. That also seems to tie in with [Esc] working to return control to R:Base. However, the DD doesn't show on the toolbar so does anybody have any suggestions how I could see if this is what's happening and/or do anything about it? Again, thanks for all the suggestions, Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Albert Berry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 5:17 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Strange Data dictionary problem > Another thought, Alastair - have a look for spurious RBE* files.
