It was a bit more hassle than I had expected, and I experienced - mostly in connection to issues with my firebird installation - some dBase crashes. At least twice in this process I was facing the same situation you describe here, and by coincidence I found that in my case the trouble was with a file named INMEM000.REM which resides in the same directory as the PLUS.INI file. This file INMEM000.REM seems to be created when dBase starts and is normally deleted when it shuts down. In my case, it appeared that the file wasn't erased after closing. After manually deleting this file and the INI file as well dBase started normally, of course with default values, but it was up and running. Of course I held a copy of the INI file, simply by renaming it, so it was easy to restore my settings. Please check the folder where PLUS.INI is located, usually something like: C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Local\dBASE\PLUS\BIN\PLUS.INI Try like I did, rename your INI file, and delete the INMEM000.REM if there is one. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Heinz -- Diese E-Mail wurde von Avast-Antivirussoftware auf Viren geprüft. www.avast.com
