It may not exist, but it did at one point ... whatever. Suggest you go to the folder that has your .ini file for dBASE: ? _app.iniFile This will display the FULL path in the output pane of the Command Window. Copy it (run the mouse through it and click Ctrl+C). Close dBASE. Using Notepad (or something like that), open the file using the File | Open dialog, and then paste the path in (Ctrl+V) the entryfield. Look for custom files and so on. Since the error message doesn't tell you the name of the file, you're going to have to look line-by-line. There's a lot in the .ini file, so it may take a bit. If you find a [CUSTOM] heading in the .ini file, look to see what is under it -- if there's anything there, delete it. Save the .ini file. Start dBASE. Try creating a new form. Does that help?
