[Dxbase] missing database at startup

[Fred Handscombe]

Hi Jim

I have that T shirt!

On my PC in C:\Windows there is a file called "Dxb2007" labelled 
configuration settings

Note NOT the same file in your DXBase2007 install directory

The config file is flat text so can be edited with Notepad etc

Scroll down the to section headed [DIR}

Below that you can enter the path for the new location of your log book 
under DATAPATH, then it should find it Ok and boot

Best to save DXBase config with a new name first!
