Hi Capra,

If db was made on MAC, and you have something as

    mydb
    mydb.dat
    

I.e. Description file DO NOT have .vdb extention,
Then yes on Windows it will not be opened

You need simply add manually .vdb ext

    mydb.vdb
    mydb.dat

And you need do

    db.open( "mydb.vdb" )


Let me know if I have correctly understand your problem.
