I think I've now got it. When I opened 2.6.5 it automatically opened with a data-set I could not use. When I clicked on File, and picked one of the suggested files, this also brought up an outdated data-set. However when I clicked on open and picked "yesterday's" file, everything worked just fine. All is good. Thank you.
