I assume you greet your customers with a smile when they rant and rave. I don't know what "linkedit" is nor have I heard of a "link editor" so forgive me my stupidity. Are you using the .RTLink that was supplied with the product ?Many people use Blinker, version 1.4 is not entirely compatible, same thing with Warplink though new version of both are due shortly. Quite possibly you could speed up the process by calling both companies and calling them assholes. The error you mention sounds like you may have renamed the overlay or possibly you copied the app but left an external overlay in another subdirectory. If you aren't using external overlays perhaps you renamed the .EXE file, can't swear to it but the original name of the .EXE is probably contained in the file for reference when the overlayed portion of the file needs to be read in. In any case you hardly make a case for your problem with the way you phrase your messages, I personally don't care what your problem is any more and if it were in my power I would refund your money if you agreed to go purchase FoxPro. You don't need the grief and frankly neither does anyone else. tom
