Janet,
I believe that message occurs when the *.msg files cannot be located,
although I haven't used these versions of RBase in a number of years. If
this is correct, I would suggest copying those files to the location from
which you are running the application/database, or ensuring that the RBase
program directory is in the path.
Hope this helps...
