Subject Re: exe problem From Bruce Beacham <bbeacham@no_plm_lowman.co.uk> Date Tue, 6 Oct 2020 21:01:54 +0100 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started This is a BDE-generated file.   I agree with Mervyn et al that this is usually put in your logged directory.    But you might also check this setting (though I'm struggling to recall why this used to give me difficulty): In your Start menu choose dBASE 2019 Choose BDE Administrator Choose the Configuration tab. Choose Drivers Choose Native Choose Paradox Look at Net Dir Make sure it is set it to a harmless accessible directory, eg C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Temp Save and exit.    Serve with a green salad and a nice glass of white wine - oh, sorry, that's what I'm just going out to the kitchen to do.
