MORE INFORMATION

Windows executes filenames with the .COM extension before it executes filenames with .EXE extensions. There are two Formbase executable files, FORMBASE.COM and FORMBASE.EXE. The first automatically loads the run-time version of Windows.

FORMBASE.COM should only be used if you do not have a copy of Windows installed on your system. If you are running Formbase from Windows 3.0 or 3.1, make sure you are entering the complete filename and extension (that is, FORMBASE.EXE).
