I have it on the computer, but where is dBase looking for it? I put it in the ...bin folder and the ...startup folder but I continue to get the error. Where is dBase looking for it? Lee has part of it, but if this is happening when dBASE *starts*, then you need to remove the reference to it in the PLUS.INI file. In the Command Window of dBASE, type: ? _app.iniFile You should get a path to the Plus.ini file. Copy that into memory by running the mouse through it, or whatever. You need to find *that* file. One way to do this is to leave dBASE open, and open Notepad (or WordPad or any external editor -- one not in dBASE), then do a File | Open, and navigate to the path that appears in your Command Window output pane -- open the Plus.ini file in that editor. Once you have the file open, close dBASE. This is important. Do a search for "sysinfo.cc". Find the line and delete it from Plus.ini. Then save the Plus.ini file. Restart dBASE. The odds are VERY good that you won't see the error. Some explanations: The reason you do this from outside dBASE is that all that information is loaded INTO dBASE. If you change it and then close dBASE it gets rewritten back to the Plus.ini file, so any changes were to no avail. The most likely reason that file is in the startup code for dBASE is that you probably double-clicked it. .CC files don't open in the Source Code Editor when you double-click them. For whatever reason, dBASE decides to put them into the startup part of the Plus.ini file (one that loads any .CC files when dBASE starts). The moral of the story -- don't double-click .CC files. Period.
