Hello Ben,
The word "customized" stands out in my reading of your problem.
Unfortunately, I didn't keep your original posting. Have you made changes to
the ebase files by any means other than direct data entry using the ebase
runtime engine? If so, the "binding" may have been damaged so that one or
more of the files no longer identifies itself as being part of ebase.
Another possibility is if the filenames have been altered, since exact names
are critical, although I'd expect that to produce a different error.
