and HAPPY DAY!

I thank 1oldfoxman and MiggyD for responding.
Using MiggyD's Notepad method for finding the contents of config.db, here is what I saw:
default=c:
path=\files\db
color=bg/ ,w/r,gr
command=do dba
dba is the data base "shell" that was written for me many years ago (1987?. It stands for Data...
I thank 1oldfoxman and dbmark for responding but I have to confess I am not a programmer and have been using dBase III plus with a shell that opens after the license page is accepted.
The shell permits me to bypass the acutal dBase commands and search for a record and goto a record number by...
I have been using Dbase for 8 years and found it robust but I had to reinstall Win98 which seems to have lost all of my dBase, Outlook Express and Schedule 7.5.
