dear kovid,

thanks for yr reply.

the database is ON my mac, not networked.

if I e.g. double click on a book on the database, I do get a similar message, shorter in text, around 'not being able to open the database', but this then disappears, and the book nicely opens.

is it possible that it has to do with the size of the database, it is pretty large.
and what can I do to eliminate this error and malfunctioning?

thanks in advance,

squash
