I believe #DBLOAD may require the full database name. I haven't tested accessing any records yet, but the database is definitely loading via the command. Remember that for any of the database commands to work (that don't also have uses in the Mapper, at least) the database module window has to be open.

This does work, perhaps it should be made clear that you need the full filename, You didnt in Zmud, and its easy to see why this might still not be required if you look at #DBSAVE's help :)
Thanks again.

Just like the mapper, the database module will be rewritten (extensively) this spring, so I'm not fixing any bugs in the current version, sorry.

I didnt expect a re-write of the database, or the mapper, I know those will come later, I just thought it might be a good idea to point out in the helpfile that you need the full file name.

You are doing a wonderful job on Cmud, and I'm really enjoying it, sorry if it seemed like I wasn't, It just finally got to the point where it was stable enough for me to actually use it to mud.

You can still open the database. I'll have to wait until I get home to look at the syntax I used it has been a while. It isn't a bug so much as lack of documentation.

Bah, now I feel stupid. Not only am I using the full file name, but I also have the full path to the databases. I have my database files saved in a completely different file path than zmud or cmud.

But yeah, we could use a mention in the help file about needing the full file name. And that you can put them anywhere so long as you use the full path.

I actually don't really want to change the help file (help file, *what* help file ;) since this will eventually be fixed.
