Again - there is no file ebase_.102 anywhere.
There is a file ebase.102 which you have apparently deleted.
You will have to restore it (probably by reinstalling the whole package.
When you install the package it puts all the .102 files in one directory.
They must all remain in that directory (or you can copy all of them to some
new directory).
Ebase.102 is a password protected file that only the ebase developers know
the password to. It has no data, only some scripts and variables use by the
system. Nothing works without it.
If you have FMP5, you do not need ebase.exe which is the runtime executable
for version 4 of FileMaker. Once you have converted to version 5 it is
useless.
Once you have recovered ebase.102 you can start the system by starting
FileMaker and then navigating to the directory where all the .102 files are.
Select ebase.102 and open it.
