So I got it working. It took a bit of messing around. Eventually what I did was to move every dbfawk file except for my custom ones from the default directory to a sub-directory I named “hold”. Then I was able to get what I wanted. Sometime if I’m bored I may move them back one at a time until I find which ones are ‘interfering’ with mine. Clearly I’d prefer to have any compatible one in place. I also renamed mine so they began with an ‘a’ and showed up at the head of the list.
Thanks for all the suggestions. > On Mar 29, 2020, at 10:54, Chip Griffin <[email protected]> wrote: > > This is a great suggestion.
