Yesterday our system ran fine - we have 7 users on a peer to peer network- this morning when we try to logon to DBA we get the first logon screen and then we get the message:  The File: BKMENUW.ARY is not in your default path.  When we click on okay it clears the DBA screen back to the desktop.  What can I do.

I checked for the file and moved it to the root directory. Now when I log onto DBA if get the following:  Access violation at address 0065AB73 in module Tp5wdba.exe  read address of 00000008.  What now?

I just finished reinstalling the 10/18/04 update- I rebooted my computer and I am still getting the same access violation message when I try to log on to DBA

I have tried to log on to DBA on all of my workstations and get the same error message on all of them.

I had a back up and copied over both the files and I still get the same access violation when I log on-  what it does when I click on okay at the violation screen is bring me to a DBA menu-acctg. but the module descriptions are all F11, F12, etc.  if I click on any of the selections I just keep getting different acces violations.  I don't know if that info will help at all.

Okay, I know how to check the read only for the DBA folder - do I have to check each .run file also, if so is there a quick way to do that or do I have to check each file?  Then, if I do have to reinstall a new DBA I would actually do a new install from my disk (after I rename my existing DBA folder) to my server computer to create the new DBA folder, reinstall the latest IST update and then copy over all my .B files (are the .B all of my data files or is there another extension also)  from my old DBA folder- is that right?  It's been so long since I've had to do this stuff and can't remember.

You need the full update and run the UPDFILE to update the data dictionary.  Then copy your company data into the appropriate directory.  I will be checking email tomorrow (if you come in on Saturday to do this) and I will be in the office all day Monday if you need any assistance.
