[Dxbase] dxb2006 (sp1) on Win XP SP2 - Error 157

[Sanford Ardern]

It's interesting that Pete mentioned SPYBOT. I had several different 
computers
that crashed after messing with SpyBot and suspected that program. Nick's
statement ""Error 157" in a small pop-up window" was one thing I remember
and I have quit using any Spy Ware programs due to various problems after
running them.
This confirms my suspicions.

    Thanks   Sandy   W4DUP
