[Dxbase] Version1.09, my experience

Sat Aug 20 15:18:21 EDT 2011

Ok I am assuming that the fixes worked and I can download the new version and install it ? I have been really busy here and I didnt follow thru on all the comments. If it works on XP up to Win7 32 bit then I will go ahead and try it . 
If there are still issues I will just stay with what I have. 
Looks like tomorrow I have time to try the install 
Thanks

Pete, 

remember that version 1.09 "is STILL in the BETA testing phase" -- in this 
phase of the testing you must know that SOME bugs might still remain ... 

It just so happens that you download the BIG ZIP from Neal's website -- BEFORE 
he posted the FIX for that warning you ran into ... 

FYI -- the currently posted ZIP file is FREE of any known BUGS .... 

If you still have DXBase2006 on your computer -- Neal's installer WILL ask if 
you want to make the ini for 2007 using that info --- in your case (since you 
already have 2007 on your computer) -- you say NO ... 

If -- before you installed/tried to install ver 1.09 of dxbase2007 -- you went to the 
Windows directory and renamed your current dxb2007.ini file to something like 

dxb2007OLD.ini 

THEN -- the installer would have written a new ini file .... 

If you did NOT rename it -- then your old ini file is still sitting there in the Windows 
directory.. 

If you did NOT uninstall the OLD Dxbase2007 program (like ver 1.07 or before) -- 
YOU HAVE NOT LOST really anything ..... 

Simply go into your Control PANEL -- and uninstall the current ver 1.09 
using the Remove Program icon .... 

Remember that you really have NOT lost a thing --- depending on what you 
did after you realized that you were into the OOPS situation ...
