    Ive never used passwords on my client files. That sounds like a hassle.

    I guess you could use File Explorer in Windows and delete all the files in the 19Data folder, then open the program and Run Homebase Database Maintenance to clear out the client list homebase.

    Highlighting the file in Homebase and hitting Delete doesnt work when theyre password protected?

    So how can I delete the database and start all over then?  Do I have to uninstall Proseries and start all over?  I have to believe there is a way to wipe out the database without uninstalling.

    Again, does highlighting the files and hitting the Delete button not work?

    No, I have to enter every client password which I have as different passwords for each client.

    That worked, Thanks.  I put different passwords on each client for security reasons.  That way if someone gains access remotely to my computer they would need to know each password.  Yes, it could be a pain for something like this, but I feel more at peace that each client is secured with a different password.
