Hi Ken:  Does "Do library.wfm" open? YES, it opens "Duflp Contents" Problem: When I attemt to close it, error:
UDT or procedure Not Found: C:\Users\19546\Documents\dBASE\dBASE2019\dBLCl;asses\formClasses\Seeker.cc

file...........C:\DUFLP\DUFLP2021B[1]\library.wfm
Routine..Library::form_OnClose
Line..........599 (which is the "else line" saying "close procedure :formcontrols:SEEKER.CC")

I'M not going to guess where evidently a path is incorrect.......Bob
