"The resource file is not valid. Overwrite it...?"

When I start DM, I keep getting an error message "The resource file is not valid. Overwrite it with a new empty one?" It doesn't matter if I answer Yes or No, it still pops up after closing the app and starting again.

I am using DM 6.01 Build 115, but saw the issue in Build 107. I recently started using DM 6 after importing from DM 5.

Thanks for your help!
Eric

Eric,

Try this.

Go into whatever folder DM 6 is installed in (perhaps c:\donor6\ ?)

There are 2 files: foxuser.dbf and foxuser.fpt.

Delete both of those.

Then restart DM. See if you continue to get this error, or not.

Let me know.
