Now that BRENDA problem is OK...... Following the conversation with BRENDA I just try to read my deleted item folder And I then try to open it using NOTEPAD but he then says it was to big for NOTEPAD and then ask for WORDPAD.... I then say YES and was able to read garbage and text.... UNTIL THEN ITS OK... But now the problem is, if it's a problem, that the .DBX icon on ALL my OE folders has been changed for WORDPAD ones..... QUESTION : IS THAT A PROBLEM or NOT ???? and if yes how to correct that??? My OE is 5.50 on WIN-98 SE and my OE is REPLICATED every 24hrs with (using) Karens Kenworthy REPLICATOR except yesterday I instructed it to do not replicate cause of this situation From/De :«BIGMARC» .
