I've lost track of what you have done. Here's what should have happened as you download and attempt to open the files. - download ebase from the website. At this point you have one 5Mb file, a stuffit archive - unstuff the archive using Stuffit Expander or something like that. Now you have a folder with the 29 or so files that make up the ebase file set plus some folders with documentation and other items. - Launch FileMaker as you usually do. If you get the optional dialog with options to create a new file or open an existing one, click "open existing file" - You get the FileOpen dialog box. Navigate to the ebase folder you just unstuffed, with all the ebase files in it. - select file type "all files" - select ebase.103 and click Open. - ebase will start, and you'll get the password dialog. Enter master, the default high-level password, and you're in. Where does your procedure diverge from this? > >2nd idea: I trashed ebase and tried to just open ebase.103 through its >desk top icon...
