LuAnn, It looks like a Microsoft error. I would call Melco in the morning. There might be some kind of patch for it. Sometimes rebooting the computer fixes issues too. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q168004 From: "Image Embroidery" <imageembroidery@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2006 18:11:05 -0400 HELP!! I know there won't be many available on a Sunday, but I am trying to get caught up on some digitizing and I am getting this message when I try to open DesignShop. Has anyone ever seen this? Unable to initialize DAO/Jet db engine I cannot open Design Shop, I keep getting this message. If anyone can help me, I would be so grateful! Thanks, LuAnn @ Image Embroidery
