Thanks Michael,
You were right on with the correction for the error that was connected with long file names and directories. I did some renaming of the directories and the indexing works fine.
The second problem I was able to correct by making sure that the table I wanted to search was already opened and was the selected table. I never had to do this before. If I did a search and the table wasn't opened PHDBase opened it so I got lazy.
As far as not being able to get in touch with Jim, I'm very surprised, when he was developing PHBase I was always able to contact him by some means, now he's just ....???
