If you are willing to rearrange things, then first, as noted, put
SEEKER.CC back where it belongs, in the folder it was installed in by dBASE:

C:\USERS\19546\Documents\dBASE\dBASE2019\dBLClasses\formClasses

Don't move it. Leave it there.

Then, I suggest you consider the following:

1) Put the dUFLP in a simpler folder structure:
    C:\dUFLP
       or
    c:\dUFLP2021

    Or something like that. Leave out the brackets.
    If you do this, then you will want to navigate (using the dBASE
Navigator) to the folder you just moved the dUFLP to. Once you are
there, in the Command Window, type:

    do setup

This will exit and restart dBASE (a couple of settings need to be read
out of the Plus.ini file).

That should have the dUFLP set up and ready to roll. Assuming you put
seeker back where it belongs, then in the Command Window:

    do library.wfm

The library form should come up with no errors. If it does, the dUFLP is
correctly setup.

Exit dBASE.

2) Now, figure out a good location for your own personal application.
Currently you appear to have it buried here:

    C:\USERS\19546\Documents\BSSBIZ

I seriously think this is not the best place for your application's
source code to be. It's confusing, and not the most obvious place to
look for it. You should consider moving it to a simpler folder
structure, such as:

    C:\BSSBIZ

Copy everything, the whole BSSBIZ folder and everything inside it to the
new location.

For the code to run properly, you then will need to modify the source
code alias for your custom code. To do this, go to the Desktop
Properties dialog (Properties menu, Desktop Properties submenu). Go to
the "Source Aliases" tab. Find the source alias you were using
(BMCUSTOM, I think). Click on that, and in the dialog click the folder
button to change the folder for your custom code to point to the new
location, which if I am reading everything correctly should e:
    C:\BSSBIZ\BMCUSTOM

3) Using the dBASE Navigator navigate to the folder C:\BSSBIZ, which
again, if I am understanding everything, is where your source code is.

Stop there. Don't move anything else. Don't delete anything. Let's just
get you to this point.

One of the biggest issues is you go and start moving things after you
have followed other instructions, and in the process you break things
because they aren't where they should have been. So please, don't go
moving anything ... have some patience.

Ken
