Thanks for your attention to the wording of the Dialog in the Connections wizard. As to your questions about the problems that i was having with the latest version of rekall, I installed and ran it on a Dell Optiplex 150 GX (Pent 3 1GHZ, 512 Ram) running Fedora Core 3. My home network has 3 machines running Postgres - 2 Win XP Pro machines running 8.03 and 8.1 Beta, and then the Linux machine runs 8.03 built from source. All the crashes I experienced were related to establishing connections to Postgres Databases on any of these machines, I would use the wizard and then enter host and DB info and with out exception the program would silently exit. It was not always at the same point, and on a couple of occasions when I restarted the program I found that the Rekall project File had been created and i could connect with the stored connection info. I have tried starting Rekall from the command line so as to see what it leaves when it exits, but it does seem to be a really silent exit. I have not done any more debugging than that. As I have said here a couple of times I think that there is a real need for an Access competitor, which Rekall promises to be - but I think we already have a number of really excellent GUI DB managers, and to me Rekall looks more like a Db Manager than Rich Client cum RAD tool for Db centric applications.
