Subject Re: Starting Dbase From Milind Nighojkar <milinigh@yahoo.com> Date Wed, 25 Jan 2023 06:15:29 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started It's Ken who gave me the pointer as C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\dBASE\dBASE2019\Bin Additionally if you use the feature store the group / user / password.... This feature is good... However  be  careful while using it as database gets encrypted and there is no way I could find to restore it. I was saved as I was exploring the function on a temporary table So as mentioned by Ken pls. take the backup and explore this function Thanks anfor your quick help...
