Subject Re: Changing 2019 address From Bob McKinney <bmckinmey721@gmail.com> Date Mon, 11 Oct 2021 15:24:51 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started     Hi Ken:  BMCustom is the holding folder for all my custom files (cfm, cdm, ect.).   My Controls is the subfolder to BMCustom contains all my custom controls (MyEntryfield, MyContainer, MyToolbar, etc).      As to the ini.files I don't know the path to open it .  Even if I found it, I would not know what to do with it. I wish I knew all the steps it will take to use one of my wfm files.  I would hope that once I find that out, if I ever do, then I should be capable to apply the same steps for all of my existing files used with the 2.8 version.  Wish me luck......Bob >Ken Mayer, dBase, LLC Wrote: > On 10/9/2021 3:20 PM, Bob McKinney wrote: > > Hi Ken:  I repaired the BMCustom Source Aliase address as you suggested.  Same results. > > I created a new form w/2019 just in case ther was something different.
