Subject Re: Bob -- Getting Your Code Organized From Bob McKinney <jrmckinney4831@gmail.com> Date Mon, 01 Nov 2021 16:59:13 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi KeNn:  Guess I'm jinkzed with downloads.  First I get the script error and when I get past that by clicking the red x numerous times, DB opens with "updates and fixes" (Purple with black letters)  with a white section below that with a black stripe lettered "dBASE2019 Release". Below that the lettering " dBASE r 2019.2  Full Release".  Clicking does nothing. Nothing like the opening as you describe it..............
