Earlier today I opened up K&K, added a bit of data to update a record, closed it down. It's possible that I did something daft like switched off computer before K&K and everything else had closed down, but I don't remember doing so! Everything appeared to be working OK.
Now, when I click on the K&K icon, or when I open up c:/Program Files/Kith and Kin Pro/ and double-click on KithKinP.exe or I right-click on it and click "Open", there's a moment when a new window seems to flash onto the screen and then nothing happens.
I'm running under Windows XP. I've tried restarting my PC. Other programs seem to be working OK.
Any suggestions, please?

Probably K&KPro is confused about the database it is supposed to open when it starts up.
The easiest way to fix it is to delete a folder called "C:\Program files\Common files\Borland shared\BDE" and then reinstall K&KPro from the CD. This will force the database engine to use the sample database when K&KPro opens.

Thanks Nick... but only partial success.
I did as you said, and K&K opened up OK, with the sample database.
But when I tried to open my own database, I get an error message "Error opening K&Kpro database ...". That's when trying to open the database I was updating yesterday.
I tried opening another large database (husband's family), and it seems to open OK.
How can I rescue my main database?
