I either run ebase from the Programs on the Start Menu, or I double click on ebase.exe from a Windows Explorer menu. It is always the same.

I have tried running ebase directly from the backup CD that I have created and I get the same hourglass-then-nothing action each time. I am looking for a complete backup of my existing production database. Consider it a read only backup copy of my database. I will only use it to run labels or print thank you letters or look up members at those times that I am not able to get to my production database. I am the only one who is using this database, and I only want to create a backup for archival purposes ~Rodney > > > -- > -- > Dave Shaw H4 Consulting > tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 > > ------------------ > Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to > http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and > enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase > support list:: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
