Hello Lex,
I create the database with the Chesspartner program using "Open database" and
"New" and I think it makes two files, LDB & LDX or something like that.  Anyway
I tried again last night with the database in a different directory than
originally created and still no luck.  I only have one database open and yes I
can store games manually with no problem.
