Thanks Razzak.
I deleted the only row from SYS_THREE3 table but that didn't help. The
Data Browser still disappears for any table I try to open.
I copied a backup from two weeks ago to the directory and the Data
Browser disappears from it also when I try to open a table.
I closed the db and navigated to a different folder using the Database
Explorer, opened a different db and Data Browser disappears there also
when I open a table.
I closed that RB session and opened another one from a different icon
which points to different "Start in" directory - data browser works fine.
If I navigate to the directory and db that was originally giving me the
"disappearing browser" problem, data browser works fine!
Searched the C: drive and deleted $$$ files from Doc & Settings\...local
Settings\TEMP
There are no $$$ files on the network drive where the RBTI software
folder is.
I created a new shortcut starting in the problem directory - still have
the disappearing data browser.
I created a new subdir and copied the Table.all and Table.LOB into it
(they are the only two files in the new subdir), started an R:Base
session, ran the Table.all file. It created a one table db and when I
try to browse that table the browser disappears. Navigating to any
other db subdir and browsing a table in any other db also results in a
disappearing browser.
So - it seems that running the Table.all file corrupts the data browser
for any db that is browsed using the R:Base shortcut in which Table.all
was run.
The RBASE.DAT in the "bad" start-in directory is CONNECT database and
RETURN.
R:Base 7.6, version 30515
Running Win 2000
I apologize if all that is confusing to follow, but it's pretty weird.
Thanks for your help, looking for blues clues cures :)

I just had the same happened to me when importing a table def & data.
Table loaded but now when I try to browse any table, the browser
flashes and disappears, although it still shows in a button at the
bottom of the RB window. If I maximize the RB windows, the browser
shows but disappears when I click Restore. All the other windows
(Explorer, Editor, R>, Forms etc are ok. This only happens for this
one database.
I checked the registry but no top, left, height or width for the
Data Browser - just Cell Hints, Even & Odd Color and Zebra Stripe.
Since it only happens for this one db, is it even a registry issue?
Doug,
FYI, R:BASE registry settings are not specific to any database.
However, on a CONNected database, when LAYOUT is set to ON, you can
save any specific table layout settings by selecting the [Save Layout]
option from the Data Browser/Editor | Main Menu | Layout menu options.
Browsing the SYS_LAYOUTS3 table should provide you some blues clues!
Example:
CONNECT dbname
BROWSE ALL FROM SYS_LAYOUTS3
Deleting the rows specific to that particular table should take care
of your specific situation.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
