Peter,
Jack replied back to you on July 12th -- with a new Zip'ed up exe
file for DXbase.... apparently you never received it??
You can go (now) to the DXbase website homepage and look at the
"downloads" / "File Updates" .. and pick the 2005 Main program
update ... that will take care of your issue.
