Patrick

you are going to have to give more info.
what is the operating system?
exactly how did you change internet providers?
does 3.1 not start or did the documents you created disappear?

recently changed a directory, namely the location of the template

yet, when I try to launch a new file with a template, i first starts 
looking for the file under the old path which has long since been 
deleted. So there must be some other place besides the Options where 
it maintains a record of the paths? What is it?


If I remember right you will have to delete the templates from the 
template list and then add the templates from the new folder. Once the 
templates have been added to the list the path will remain pointed to 
the old folder. It is not automatically updated.

Hi David

This usually comes from the text language setting not matching the 
dictionary setting. Are you sure you used the same English dialect - 
can be US, GB, CA, AU, etc.


If you right click in a paragraph, go to "Edit Paragraph Style" and 
select the "Font" tab, the language setting will be shown in a box, 
and should have a small  ABC with a check mark (tick) to indicate 
there is a dictionary to match.


Then look in "Tools - Options-Language Settings-Languages and see that 
the language setting there matches. Again the presence of a dictionary 
is indicated by a small  ABC with a check mark (tick).

it thinks you've got one or more records with a null entry for last name
and therefore can't set the primary key.
