Dave,
I'm doing everything according to this procedure.
When I select file type "all files," ebase.103 does not appear in the dialog
box so I cannot select it to go further into configuring the program. I've
looked through each folder a hundred times... They're always empty. The
only files I can view are simple text files and the support files, etc.
I just tried to open ebase from the icon and entered master. It opens into
the program...
would this indicate that I've somehow stepped around the runtime
version?
