Sounds as if the front end can't find the kernel. Try to activate the kernel manually before opening the front end (to check in case a HD problem has stomped your copy of the kernel). If the kernel runs, but the front end still can't contact it, I'm stumped. If the kernel runs and the front end CAN talk to it, then the problem is in how your system finds and starts the kernel when the front end first needs it. Speaking of what I know, namely the Mac, the most likely problem is that you've either installed something or moved a bunch of files around and the Desktop database has gotten out of whack. Rebuilding your desktop should fix the problem... If you're on Windows, which I've occasionally been coerced/ forced into using, I think the Registry file plays a similar role and can cause similar problems when it feels out of sorts. - Eric. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- REPLY FROM: STROBEL, ERIC Microsoft Mail v3.0 (MAPI 1.0 Transport) IPM.Microsoft Mail.Note From: Jeff D.
