Has anybody else experienced > this problem ? I have had both similar occurances in the past. Things I would look at include: 1. runner aborting - did your original installer make a custom 4gen runner on your machine? On one of our systems, they just installed from tape and skipped this step. Some of their programs are pretty old and would benefit from a "make" if you have the means to do so. 2. date field overflows - I suppose that you have checked the value of DBDATE since 4gen scripts always set this.
