Thanks Alfred, but that was not the problem. I wanted to open from the database. I have multiple databases and opening from the icon makes me go thru a large selection to get the one I want. It is fixed. A MS XP problem. Closed programs, rebooted and reinstalled RM 5.0.3.1. This puts RM 5 as last version installed (again).
