[Dxbase] RAC CD

Sun Sep 25 06:54:06 EDT 2005

Bob,
Not sure what instructions you were referring to? Below are the 
instructions taken from the DXbase 2006 help file. Your folder on your 
drive should be named, data, not RAC.
RAC, or sometimes referred to as Flying Horse, contains a folder on the CD 
called Data. This is the folder that contains all of the address related 
files.
1. Using Windows Explorer, create a new folder on your hard drive under the 
root folder called Data. Do NOT place this new folder under other 
subfolders. It must be located directly under your root folder.
2. Using Windows Explorer, click on the left side on the Data folder of the 
CD.
3. You should see the address related files on the right. From the main 
menu, click Edit/Select All.
4. On the main menu of Windows Explorer, click Edit/Copy
5. Click on the Data folder that you created in step one above.
6. On the main menu of Windows Explorer, click Edit/Paste
If the above was done correctly, you will have a folder on your hard drive 
with a full path of
 C:\Data where C is the designation for your hard drive
And, you will have the address related files listed on the right side of 
Windows Explorer
