Hi Jon, It looks to me as if you have a file-type mismatch. ebase.103 files are FileMaker Pro 5 files. If you try to open them with v4, even if you tell it to show "All Available" per the v4 Mac open dialog, the v5 files will not show up. The Open dialog apparently uses a narrow definition of "available", which is good because they would probably crash if opened. Solution: get ebase v1.02 (for FMP4) or else upgrade to FMP 5.
