Gary, Thanks for your help, but I am having a little trouble. I installed a fresh install of ebase on the second computer. It runs fine and opens up with a single record for Marshal Meyer of Helena, MT. Then I copy all of the files from my backup of ebase that have an extension of.102 to the new ebase directory. I select all files and make sure that the read only attribute is not set. Then when I run ebase I don't get my old data, just the fresh copy of the database with Marshall Meyer in it. Am I doing something wrong? Have I left out a critical step somewhere?
