Tschuess Marcus,

Thanks for your reply. Turns out I had caused the problem by entering the wrong information in the app's ini file.

I had:
YPAYROLL=C:\Projects\Ytimeclock\Data\

When it should've been:
YTIMECLOCK=C:\Projects\Ytimeclock\Data\

And the poor database manager object was getting quite confused by that.

I learnt a lot [more] about the framework as I frantically traced Kevin's code, as usual.

Thanks!!!!

Alex
