Hello, I thought it was time I said more than that so here goes. I am not new to programming as such, but have been programming in non-window type applications for many years and since I have discovered Liberty Basic as a tool to get me into the world of Windows programming, I have come along a bit, mostly thanks to the participation of the all members at the forum. I have shared two programs as freeware with the LB community, that being EMA , and the other BraveKnight . BraveKnight is still in progress and I will learn a lot from doing it to completion. EMA keeps a database in the DBASE format (DBF) via Cheetah . I am looking for a DBASE recovery program, that is freeware, so if you know of one please share. I make backups of my data regularly though.
