Error:   During DXB Import, cannot find file refdata.mdb

Symptom
When running the DXB Import utility program, user selects the source and target path and is then presented with the main import screen.  User then selects the "Begin" import icon and an error is received that indicates that the file REFDATA.MDB cannot be found.  Import is then aborted by the software.
Cause On the main import screen, there is a field called "DXbase Path".  The default entry in this field should be the full path to the location of your DXbase 2007 program.  In some cases, the software does not end this entry with a backslash.  Without the ending backslash ( \ ) character, the full path is not read correctly and therefore the refdata.mdb file is not found.
Solution Select the source and target files using the button located to the right of each field.  Before starting the import, look at the entry in the DXbase Path field on the main import screen.  If it does not already end with a backslash character ( \ ) user should add the backslash character at the end of the entry.  There should be NO spaces between the last character already displayed and the backslash character that is added.

If you used the default installation, your DXbase Path should be similar to this:

C:\Program Files\Scientific Solutions\DXbase 2007\

Note the last backslash.
