John, yes I am aware of that. The problem is the program never runs. 
It never gets past the error message and terminates. At initial run 
time , never ever has been installed on this computer, it asked me for 
my call. I provide same and it has never ran since. See below.
Thanks for the response.
Joe

>> I have tried in vain to get DXB to work on a laptop. The program has been installed but will not open any database. It will not even open a renamed version of the "virgin" database. The error message that appears is "The database you selected is not compatible with this version of DXbase. Try again and choose the right database. DXbase will now abort."
>> That would be great if you even had an opportunity to browse for another database but no way. It wants to open a "k8fc" database. I copied and renamed the virgin database but to no avail. I find it interesting that it cannot open a renamed version of a known good database.
>> I'm not even at a point where the program will run. Just fails immediately with the above error.
>> I have un-installed it, removed the directory but apparently the registry values for the program are not deleted as it wants to always open "k8fc" right after a clean installation and a prior dxbase directory removal. So, at the moment I am dead in the water on this pc.
