[Dxbase] Using Vista

Thu Jun 7 22:39:49 EDT 2007

Please reply to Rick or the reflector. Thanks.
DXBaser's:
I had to purchase a new HP desktop computer that only came equipped with 
Microsoft Vista (unfortunately). I am having difficulty installing the 
registration key so that DXBase recognizes it. I would appreciate any 
comments or suggestions to help me fix my problem which is explained below. 
I have reviewed past reflector postings but I am not sure I have seen this 
exact problem.
After I installed the "trial copy of DXBase 2007", I attempted to install 
the registration code I received from Jack via email. I sent this 
registration code via email from my old XP computer to the new computer 
having Vista installed on it. When I click on the registration code to 
install it on the Vista computer, I get a splash screen message saying:
 This file does not have a program associated 
with it for performing this action.
 Create an association in the Set Association 
control panel.
Has anyone experienced this and found a fix for it. I am not sure where the 
Set Association control is located on Vista or how to set it if it exists. 
I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions.
