I installed a copy of VDB7 on my laptop at work and now it is running as defined.
I suspect something is wrong with the BDE driver on my home machine. Do you have any 
sussgestions, or should I just try a reinstall. (This is very early on in the new VDB learning 
curve and I won't lose much if I just reinstall).

This is going to take some time getting use to the "new" way to do things. I wish we had a 
better tutorial on the new database objects as this is a major change.

Thanks
