I got my database set up in along with reports so it worked  in Sesame.  Was already to try it on the staff when I got the error message Customer.db failed to open.  I closed Sesame and went back to Desiner and tried to reconcile figuring this might solve the problem but got the error message Failure to reconcile, application is already being served. 

I had an earlier copy of the database in another folder as a backup so I tried that and it opened fine.  But it was late and I didn't do anything but open it.

Today I opened the original database and it opens but there are no reports in it.  The names of reports are all there but no report.  When I look at the reports in designer the first one is a blank report grid.  The bind element to box does not have the drop down list of elements.  When I look at the second report I don't even get the report grid, just a blank box.  I can design a new report and the bind element drop down list works.  But when I go back to Sesame, after reconciling, the new report runs but the next report crashes Sesame.  And now it won't open the database again.

I must be goofing something up.

Operating system is XP Home edition.  I want my DOS back!

Thank you Bharat.  Using the latter I opened the database.  The reports don't work or crash Sesame so I'm going to delete all the reports and redesign them.

I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks again
Alan
