That's correct... you need the correct MDW file.

| Eric. Thanks for your efforts and I hope you get this
| response (I've been away for a while).
|
| I suspected that the incorrect mdw was being used and had
| already tried that one. My dilemma is that I don't have
| the mdw the database was developed with. I had the
| client do a search on her entire system for all mdw and
| had her send them to me. None worked. I am still trying
| to locate the original developer of the database, so far
| with no luck.
|
| I am beginning to think, he is the only one who can solve
| the problem.
