This seems to be the same problem which Kurt has reported. I will
investigate this.

Chuck - can you OPEN a db located somewhere else? (Just move the created db
from the default location to another place and try to open it there)

Yes - correct. It's Alpha...:-)
On the other hand you can use it already for:
- maniupulating database structure
- browsing data
- import data from ODBC
....
So - it is called Alpha because it does not contain all the funcionality
of the final version.

Well - we will think about that.
