Hi Bob, If you have really typed into the command window "create form" then pressed enter and the response has been the source editor popping up which contains streamed out datamodule code then something is _seriously_ wrong with your installation of dBASE. I have never seen this reported on the newsgroups before and have never seen this myself. I am curious to know if this was something you did using dBASE or is corruption caused by something else that has happened on your machine. I have invited you by e-mail to join me on a MS Teams call so that I can verify what is happening, but you have not responded yet. If you don't want to do that then all I can suggest is that you uninstall dBASE and then reinstall again and cross your fingers that things return to normal... Regards, Andy > Hi all: Is it posible that this mistake will require a re-install of db2019? All of my learning efforts are down the drain if i cannot open a standard form. I await a winning rely, thanks guys...
