Subject Re: Tutorial From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Fri, 17 May 2019 16:33:44 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Laurie, Mervyn's right, you have to setup and do the Tutorial EXACTLY, following all directions, etc... as it is laid out.  And we have a newsgroup here titled "d.tutorial" that if your newsreader hasn't gotten for you, you should get have it find it and read and post to it concerning the tutorial as the author and others will look there for people having issues with the tutorial...but the getting-started was a good second choice to look in. :) First thing I'm going to guess why you can't find customer.dbf is that you don't have the source alias's and the directories setup properly...but without confirmation, can't say. As for typing twice, are you sure you aren't just not hitting enter after the auto complete puts in the command you're typing? You hit enter once for the auto completion, and then you hit it again to execute the command.  Could this be what you're referring to? Looking to see your posts appear in the d.tutorial thread.
