Subject Re: beginappend() Problem Fixed From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Sun, 2 Jul 2023 20:02:11 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Mervyn, See what I mean about insanity? :) In your other followup message, you point out what I was going to try today, dragging the database folders to the form to see how that affected the issue, so I'm glad you found all these interations on top of that one. I was really confused when I went from Ken's tutorial stuff where everything worked perfectly, to when I tried to implement mine, they wouldn't work without hard-coded rowset object paths. At least now I know, and not knowing why was the part that got peeved and confused.
