>Since you moved the data, have you corrected your registry? If your registry is still pointing to the old location, you will get the database not found message. If you can get your application to the main menu, click on File, User Preferences to fix it or just run Regedit and look for DBC locations under your aplication entry.

Hi Mat
The registry was updated correctly when local data directory was changed through the Preference form. The application opens the database end creates data environments Ok. I’ve deleted the application key entry from the windows registry, but the messages are still there.
