Hi Akshat,

I mean the dBase wfm Files are all in a folder called "Mbcdisplay" together with the other Mbcfiles?? . When I open the Mbcdisplay folder & double left click Mbcdisplay.wfm it executes OK. Right beside it is Mbcmenu.wfm and when I double left click on it in the same folder it also executes OK. However Mbcmenu.wfm pushbutton. with Do Mbcdisplay.wfm  can't find Mbcdisplay.wfm to make it execute. ??.  
Error "file does not exist ?"

However sit down and rest ?? - Late yesterday ( Monday Australia) i went to show my daughter a couple of things I had coded and dBase went OFF the air, black screen, unresponsive etc. End Task would not execute, Escape had no response, so I turned the computer completely off for 30 minutes. When I switched it on again, the Mbcmenu.wfm executed as exactly as it should ?? - I know it would not excite dBase LLc, but think it is a "dBase Language Bug" , and now AllproMenu.wfm will not execute, and I have had it running for at least 4 weeks - No I have not played with the coding, so it all seems weird to this 83 year old ??

How do you report this to dBase Llc for a possible patch ??

If I double click mbcmenu.wfm in mbcdisplay folder it runs OK also, but one can't seem to find the other one in the same folder ?. As I said before I have another program called Allpro. In the Allpro folder I have Alpromenu.wfm and this finds Allproemp.wfm, AllproRaws.wfm, Allprotest.wfm, without any problems.
