I have run out of ideas. I have tried what you suggest and also tried some other things - namely, I deleted the database from the project window and drug it in again; I put it in the application folder; I deleted it from the project window and deleted the file itself and then created it from scratch again; I renamed it; I added a database from an example project by dragging it into the project window; and probably a few other things I can't remember - all of these changes produce the same result. None of them connect and none give any error message.

I wish someone from RB would weigh in on this.

OK, Success finally. As usual, the solution was very simple but not obvious (to me at least). Once I added the .rbd to the file name it works like a charm.
