I wanted to add Dave's comment here, which I think is a good guess at the source of the problem. I have several times observed organizations using Ebase having problems like this. To me, the primary fix is to make sure that you don't have multiple installations of Ebase sitting in various locations around your organization. When you have copies of Ebase in several directories/folders, it just ASKS for problems. It is very easy for someone to find SOME copy of Ebase and then start using it. If it's the wrong copy, then all their work in that copy is either lost or has to be consolidated into the primary copy. It is a GOOD practice to keep only one copy of Ebase loaded up and ready to run on your computer network. That prevents these sort of problems completely. ************************************************************** Larry F.
