Open a "New" Database *.CTG Put games into it..... Load Engine, Load Book, follow the menu, select the .CTG Book you want loaded. You can select the Fritz .ctg Book, or Hiarcs 8 (which has the largest one) or any you want. I go to the Start Menu... do a search of files for .ctg they all show up, I select the one I want. Load it. No Prob. When trying to Import.. I have had problems also. Whatever works for you.. Good Luck. CY
