Whomever:

I had a great deal of problem with the Sample Database and also Database
Explorer.  I could not read the files "invalid file" would be the error I
would receive.  Here is the fix if you have Delphie 2.0 or 2.01 and you have
the BDE files that came on the CD loaded.  I have M$ loaded so I had a
problem.   This is the fix:  Download the BDE update from the Borland/Delphi
page on the web.  #.5 or 4.51 ( I did 4.51)  All things are well for now.
Thanks to al that help me along this path to the answer
