Hello Roderick, Thank you for pointing me to Oo user manual that is anyway very useful, but the note you addressed simply covers normal database registering, that I obviously did using both 1.1.x and 2.0.x versions. Anyway I have understood why in Oo2.x I don't see the same files I see in Oo1.x: cause the .DBF bug already mentioned in the postings of the last days. After renaming to .dbf all missing files turned visible and working again. Thanks again to you and to the whole list too! Al ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.
